“BLESSED OR STRESSED!”

Psalm 103:1-2 (KJV)
¹ Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
² Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Are you feeling Blessed or stressed today?  I am not asking if you are Blessed because if you are a child of God, through believing in Jesus Christ, you are Blessed!

But sometimes we need to be reminded that we are Blessed. If you pause and think about your life today, you may feel discouraged by your circumstances and situations!

But may I tell you that you were created by Father God, the creator of the universe and you are Blessed.

You are too Blessed to be stressed!

We are created to Bless the Lord.  All of creation is created to Praise Him!

Psalm 103:21-22 (KJV)
²¹ Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
²² Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

When you consider that whatever is happening in your life right now is just a vapor.  It is a passing, fleeting thing, as is your life, you can rejoice that eternity with Jesus is your reality!

Psalm 104:1 (KJV)

Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

We give God honor when we Bless and Praise Him!  Praise is a weapon against all stress!

Deuteronomy 28:3 (KJV)
Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

We have been promised that we are Blessed whether in the city or the field, meaning anywhere we are.

We do not have to feel Blessed to be Blessed. We may feel stressed but when we begin to Praise God for Salvation, the Holy Spirit, Family, Friends, our Church, Food, Clothes, Shelter, but most of all “WHO HE IS”, we find stress flees back to hell from where it came.

In addition, we are Blessed with all Spiritual Blessings!  We can fellowship with the Father and find ourselves basking in His Love.

Ephesians 1:3 (KJV)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Stress brings with it, weariness in body and spirit, a focus on the present situations or circumstances and can even bring depression or worse!

But when we begin to Bless the Lord and Honor Him by recognizing who He is and what He has done for us, stress flees and so does the enemy of our soul, satan, and all his minions!!

1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

So, the choice is yours: Blessed or Stressed!

I would much rather Bless and Praise the Lord, how about you!

Psalm 150:6 (KJV)
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Father, in Jesus name I come!  I Bless your name. I am fearfully and wonderfully made! No weapon formed against me will prosper.  I lift my eyes to the stars, the sky, the moon, and the sun, and I praise you.  I give you Honor and Glory for all the beauty you have created. I give you Gory and Honor for Salvation and that I will be with you in a perfect world forever.  Life is short and eternity is long! I choose to be Blessed not Stressed!   Amen!

Choose a life of Blessed!   Love, MeMaw
