He Changed Me

I have beeen stressed out completely lately. It has affected my weight (stress eating) and has affected my mood which in turn affected my walk with God. Yesterday I heard a sermon about when we let things stress us out so much they are probably what is priority in our life (IE: a job).  That's what I got out of it anyway.

 

My stress has been surgeries I've had in the past month and a half, another pending surgery, and of course since we are uninsured; the money to pay for all of that as well. Yesterday, I realized that I need to give those stresses to the One who is supposed to be first in my life; Jesus. I know He will take care of us so what is the point in worrying about it all. Instead I need to pray for His strength to carry me and my family through everything. And I know He will.

 

It reminds me of that verse about leaving your first love. We need to remember that Jesus is our first love. Not our job, money, etc. When we get the order right then everything else will fall into place. It might not be instantaneously, but it will happen.

 

Revelation 2:4- "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love."
