T.O.D.A.Y.'S ENCOURAGEMENT for Oct.7th, 2002 T.O.D.A.Y.
Ministries There are so many avenues to explore in talking about the importance of establishing and keeping a "simple" lifestyle. I believe I have already expressed how I feel about the fact that this is "important", but now we are going to talk about "how" to do this and also about the results of living this way. The first thing you need to do, is get The Lord "involved" in every aspect of your life. You do that by "asking" Him for His help in everything that concerns you. I have shared on this principle many times before. He WANTS to be involved, and He has said, over and over again in His word, that He wants us to ASK! I can assure you that if you ask Him for His help, He will be faithful to give it. Just knowing that God wants to help you will take all of the pressure off of you, and then you can "cast all of your cares upon Him" (1Peter 5:7). Casting your care upon The Lord does not mean that you are being "irresponsible". It means that you have decided not to "worry" about that situation any more. Worry is a sin. That may sound a little strange to some of you, but it is the truth! When we worry, we are not trusting God to do what He said He would do. If we are not "trusting", then we are no longer operating in "faith", and without faith it is impossible for us to receive anything from God. (Hebrews 11:6 and James 1:6&7) So, living a simplified life means to "live by faith"(please read Romans 1:17). While you are at it, just read the entire book of Romans. You will be blessed! We have only just begun........we are on a journey to finding out how to live free from stress and frustration! There is so much more to talk about. I pray that you will stay with me on this "life-changing" subject. Have a blessed Day!! In His Love, Luanne We welcome your comments and prayer requests.
