God's Stress

Matthew 6:9 - In this manner, therefore, pray:Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.


Romans 8:15-17 - 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.


John 20:17 - 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’”



Matthew 6:25-34 - 25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.



James 1:2-4 - 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.




First of all I would like to look at who God is to the Born Again Christian.  Our first bible verse is Matthew 6:9, which is the first account of the Lord's prayer.  When we pray to God we pray to God as OUR FATHER.  If we could not call him father then Jesus would have started the prayer differently.
    The second verse that I want to look at is Romans 8:15-17.  Those verses are talking about the Holy Spirit mixing with our spirit in our body to be called son of God.  As son's of God we are adopted by God the Father as his children.  I have not had a human father for 55 years of my life, so as a son of God, I can look at God as a different person.
    The Third verse I would like to look at is John 20:17.  Jesus is outside his tomb where he was buried for 3 days and 3 nights, he told Mary to go tell the brethren that he was going to his father and there father, and his God and there God.  What Jesus was saying as a brother in Christ we all have the same Father and the Same God in Heaven.
    I would now like to look at Matthew 6:25-34.  Here we see that Jesus is talking about worrying.  As adopted children of God the Father we should let him take care of the Big Stuff.  All we have to be concerned about is doing our best to stay in touch with our heavenly father.  God knows what we need and how and when to see fit that we get what we need.
    The next verse I want to look at is James 1:2-4.  James is talking about the different trials in life that a Christian must go through to grow in their faith.  We know that God allows Satan to tempt us and how we react is our trials of life that God puts us under.  These trials are God's stress points to test our faith in him and him alone.
    In closing I would like to add that what I can see is that God's stress is our everyday life that we have to go through to pass God's trials in our lives.  God didn't say life was going to be easy but as a loving Father that God is, He will get us through it.  If you think that you have a hard life than I suggest you read the Old Testament book of Job.
    I pray that these posts will encourage to read your bible to get more answers that God the Father can help you with.
