OUTLINE:
Learn to relax, step back, take a deep breath, and trust God.
Heb 13:7 [Amplified Classic]
Remember your leaders and superiors in authority [for it was they] who brought to you the Word of God. Observe attentively and consider their manner of living (the outcome of their well-spent lives) and imitate their faith (their conviction that God exists and is the Creator and Ruler of all things, the Provider and Bestower of eternal salvation through Christ, and their leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness).
Options – Blog – 8/18/2017
One of the most destructive forces in a human’s life is when a person believes they have options. If every good thing is from God (James 1:17) then there’s really only one good option, God’s will.
So-called “Options”
- A new religion (not Christ’s)
- A new spouse
- New possessions (ones chased, not give by God)
- Generally: anything meant to distract you from the “simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ” (2Co 11:3)
Pr 23:7a [Amplified Classic]
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
Careful Who/What You Listen to!
Do not engage with the KoD regarding “options”. That’s what Eve did and look at where that got us! Jesus said, “Pay attention to what you hear” (Mar 4:24a).
Learn to relax, step back, take a deep breath, and trust God.

Keep It Simple Stupid
Conclusion
If you want to live in peace, joy, and happiness, then obey your Master!
Obedience (aka righteousness) means peace.
It’s never enough to simply know something is true.
