“STOP… DROP… and ROLL…”
*******
Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.
[1 Peter 5:7]
*******
Good Morning Beloved,
Remember what they taught us in school. If we were ever on fire, they told us to STOP, DROP and ROLL. We were told that running only made the fire worse, but dropping to the ground and rolling would put the fire out. Some of us have never been in a physical fire (thank God), but we are surrounded by spiritual, emotional, societal and metaphorical fires. It could be having more bills than money, or a family that is torn in shreds, or severe health challenges. Whatever the fire, S D & R is good advice.
STOP! … Take time to pray, meditate and think about the situation. There is a better solution and sometimes it is easier then we thought. Ever had an idea ’pop’ in your head, and said, “hmmmm…. why didn’t I think of that before!”.
DROP… Let some stuff go. Whether it is a foul temper, a toxic relationship, or an unnecessary expense.
ROLL … it off of you and onto the Lord by faith. Especially if it is something that you have no control over anyway. We cannot control people, so if it is a person, pray and “roll” them over to the Lord. Do as much as you can, but realize that you are not their God and there is only so much you can do.
It will be spring soon, we can do some ‘spring’ cleaning early. Not just the house and our closets, but our entire lives. I was looking through a telephone bill recently, and realized that I have been paying for services in a package, that I rarely use and some of them I never use. Time to ‘snip-snip’. A good rule of thumb is, if the thing (whatever it is), has not been used in a year…. get rid of it. We will find that we are carrying a lot of unnecessary weight (and not just on our body). Ever lost a few pounds, and felt like you are breathing better… that is because you are. When we drop whatever weight we are carrying, we will feel so much better and be able to focus on areas that were neglected when we were bogged down….
…. and that my friend is Good News!
U Blessed!
Have A Fabulous Day
