“Don’t Forget Your Shoes” Ephesians 6:15
It has been said that we are living in an age of anxiety due to budgetary deficits, job layoffs, escalating health care costs, rising gas prices, terrorism, an imbalanced criminal justice system, coupled with the fact that a morning cup of latte has shot through the roof. Clearly, we are living in some stressed filled times. How are you handling your stress?
The Apostle Paul encouraged the saints in Ephesus to put on their shoes of “peace”. A peace that is not immune to pain or problems, but a peace that stabilizes you in the time of pain and problems. The warfare is filled with rocky terrain and an ever changing topography, but just as the Roman soldiers could stand their ground in the flesh, we too can stand our ground in the Spirit regardless of the proximity of the enemy.
Is this not what Jesus meant when He said in John 14:27-Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you? Haven’t you been tossing and turning, struggling and straining long enough? DON’T FORGET YOUR SHOES!!!

How am I handling stress? God is teaching me to release. There are many things I have no control over. I am trying to remember to release all things to God. I've also realized each day, each moment, each second, I choose my mood, or attitude, or response to things. I've been choosing a positive attitude more and more. Thank God!!
