Reflection About Stress Of Life

Improved Essays
(23) To every man's lives, there are two sides; the weaker side and the stronger side. In other words, the good side and the bad side of every one of us we are all praying to God to overcome. We should stop seeing and condemning the weaker side of one another, but rather learn to celebrate the great values in one another to enjoy the best God had invested in us. No one is perfect except God, but we are all walking towards perfection: therefore let us correct in love and rebuke the other when necessary; than to destroy one another with our mouth: “the Africans are known for more of this attitude”. (1 Cor 13:4, 15:10, 2 Cor3:5, Pro 10:12, Phil 3:12, 16, Eph 4:29, 31, 32, Gal 6:1, 2)

(24) Beware of men and always commit yourself into God's hands:

I have seen the beauty of the dark race when stress free, and also the beauty of the white race when stress free. I was once addressed as forty-six years old man when I was 25, 26 years old, and was also addressed as a 20, 22, year old man free from stress in my 28, 29 years. A life that is full of stress is open to sudden death. Many factors can be responsible for stress; it can be from the family, the making of the system of life, spiritual disturbances, ignorance, disobedience, fear, poverty, etc. In all, the Bible says, we should look unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. When Peter saw the storm, he was afraid and started sinking then Jesus stretched forth his hand and rescued him: If you look towards the situation of the things of life, you will be frustrated and start to die slowly, but when you look unto Jesus, he will see you through. (Luk 15:11-24, Matt 6:25-34, Pro 3:5, 1 Peter 5:7, Ps …show more content…
The worst enemy of a man is the one laughing with you but the very one killing you behind. No wonder, it repented God creating man. (Luk11:44, Psa 55:12-14, Gen 6:5, 6, Matt 10:36, 5:43-48, John 2:24, Jer 17:9, 9:4-9)

(39) People will always use your situation to take advantage on you, or make mockery of you: But do not be mindful of them, but rather, always be focused, and be courageous in the Lord to keep on the move and correct any mistake you might have made. Nevertheless, keep on walking in faith. The Bible says; all things work together for good to them that love God. At God's time if you do not give up, he will perfect you for his name to be celebrated through you. (Rom 8:28, 1:7, Eccl 3:11a, Gen 18:14, Prov 24:16)

(40) Tolerance, patient, determination, courage, endurance, focus, faithfulness, love, commitment, true repentance, faith in God, and the fear of God are the qualities that makes you outstanding among others to hand you your rightful place in life. (Phil 2:5-11, 2 Tim 2:20-26, James 1:2-4, Heb 1:9, 12:1-3, Col 3:8, Eph 4:22-32, Rom 5:3-5, 3:23, 6:23, Acts 5:41, Matt 13:12, 5:37-48, 10: 38, 39,

Peter begins to walk, but once he feels the strength of the storm he is scared and begins to sink. He calls to Jesus to save him, and immediately Christ catches him.…

    A heavenly perspective… “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 (ESV). Life is easy and things are just humming along and life can seem to be great – but when life gets hard it easy to get discouraged. Oh, one can try to rebound by refocusing on ones goals, by doing a small duty of accomplishment. One can take one step to move forward, as to keep it all in perspective, remembering you’ve managed to make it this far.…
