The Streets of Stress

Often times, the Christmas season can be a reminder of great stress in our lives. Whether it is from financial stressors, crazy schedules, or even social expectations we experience a tremendous amount of stress and worry. This week we looked at the birth narrative of Christ and pondered together the stressors that afflicted Mary and Joseph. How did they combat these? They trusted in the Lord and clung to his words of promise. When we combat stressors in our lives it is important to follow suit. We need to trust the Lord and press into his word. Through scripture we are reminded that our hope is steadfast and secure in the faithful hands of Christ.
