Object lesson: Stress gets to us... Like a flame it can burn at us until finally we cant hold on any longer. Then suddenly, boom, we give way to it and all seems lost. You see there is only one difference in these balloons. One is full of air, while the other contains water. The difference is, one has substance. The balloons themselves are not special and on their own cannot stand against the stressful flame. Its whats on the inside that makes them special, that gives them the ability to withstand the flame. You see, in life it is a faith in God that gives us the ability to overcome stress. Though the flame is hot we are able to withstand whatever life throws at us. Not because we ourselves are strong, but because of He who is us is able to over come the world. So go ahead, cast all your care and anxiety on God. He will strengthen you. 1 Corinthians 3:16, Philippians 4:13, 1 Peter 5:7
