This is a HUGE lesson God has been working out in Lionel and I the past few years. How we can Rest in Him regardless of the circumstances. How stress comes from our striving, as if we have something to contribute or measure up to for God. But the constant what is next Lord is where He wants us. Having our own business has been a challenge for this. The line between diligence and striving in the flesh is blurred at times. But feeling stressed is the symptom of walking in our flesh. Great Post!

Just ask Jesus…How quickly I forget until I’m in the middle of the stress! I’m learning though – sometimes painfully so. Good post.

Kari, I recently started reading the ESV bible, too! I go online and print off chapters at a time, then sit on my lanai and read and mark away on the pages. I still love my NASB version (which was my favorite for a long time) but reading the ESV has given me new eyes. Plus, I find that a new format helps me to pay better attention, which is why the printed pages have been good for my Bible reading. It’s great to switch it up sometimes, since we humans always seem to fall into the habit of whatever is easiest. My brain shuts off if something’s too familiar. Anyway, I think it’s funny that we both recently started reading the ESV. It’s shouldn’t surprise me!
P.S. Great post–sorry my comment wasn’t exactly on the issue of stress!
