Daily Devotion for 5/17/11 Growing Stronger Through Change Part III

Good Morning Folks...I've been out sick the last few days so I haven't been on my game. But I'm almost at 100% Pray for me! I'd like to continue with the series of Growing stronger through Change. Here we go!

Today's Topic: Growing Stronger Through Change Part III
Scripture Text: Psalms 31:7


"I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love"


There's an old Chinese Proverb that says: "A diamond cannot be polished without friction, and a person can't be perfected without trials." We all want to live stress free without having to work at it, but it can't be done. So:

#1 Take time each day to pray and read God's Word; it'll transform your outlook
#2 If you still look like your old passport photo, take a vacation, you need one!
#3 What goes up must come down, so cut back on caffeine and sugar!
#4 Eat right-a balanced diet isn't having a cookie in each hand! [Guess I need to get rid of those cookies my roommate just baked lol]
#5 Exercise three to five times a week for thirty minutes; it's natures magic bullet for stress
#6 Develop better time management habits: "use it or lose it"
#7 make room in your life for fun and relaxation
#8 Get eight hours of sleep when possible
#9 Maintain your sense of humor: "A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired" (Proverbs 17:22)
#10 Start counting your blessings. The Psalmists said, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits (Psalms 103.2)
#11 When you talk to yourself, say the right things. YOUR words affect you more than others
#12 Simplify your life by eliminating clutter. If you haven't used it for two years, you probably don't need it.
#13 Develop a sense of purpose by seeking God and setting personal goals
#14 Forgive; grudges are too heavy to carry:
"If you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive [you] (Matthew 6:15)

We have a lot to do right. So let's get it done :)

Peace and Love Fam!
