Tips For Stress
Here is your Tuesday STORY on: SELF DEVELOPMENT Today's story whether true or not will remind us that whilst we are in total charge of our own destiny, yet we also seem to be directed at times. Many would call it being directed by God, those who follow Wisdom would call it being directed by Universal Principles. Those who consider the value of considering these principles will also possess a skill of adapting. They will be able to let go of their normal perception and adjust to see the problems that arrive from a different viewpoint. One of the major stressful situations in life is selling your house. It has such a huge value that you become almost obsessed with the possession; to the point of distraction. During the process of the sale you'll twist and turn in your sleep with the incidents along the path of selling the property. If the house sale falls through and the 'would-be' buyer backs out, you could expect heartache and disruption. However, had you chosen to accept the governing principles of The Universe or the fact that a God may have chosen this to happen to prevent a bigger catastrophe, would that help dissipate the anguish? In simple terms you either respond with a negative action or that of a positive one. If we choose to accept that 'Everything Happens For A Reason' we are sooner to adjust to every occurrence. BUY THE MILK A young man had been to Wednesday night Bible Study. The Pastor had spoken about "listening to God and obeying the Lord's voice." The young man couldn't help but wonder, "Does God still speak to people?" After service he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message. Several different ones talked about how God had led them in different ways. It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, " God, if you still speak to people, speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey." As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud, "God is that you?" He didn't get a reply, so he started on toward home. But again, the thought came to him... buy a gallon of milk. The young man thought about Samuel, and how he didn't recognize the voice of God, and how little Samuel ran to Eli. "Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk." It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. So, he stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started toward home. As he passed Seventh Street, he again felt the urge, "Turn down that street." This is crazy, he thought, and drove on past the intersection. Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street. At the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh. Half jokingly, he said out loud, "Okay, God, I will". He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi-commercial area of town. It wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst of neighbourhoods either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark, like people were already in bed. Again, he sensed something, "Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street." The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat. "Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid." Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk. Finally, he opened the door and said, "Okay God, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something but, if they don't answer right away, I am out of here." He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice yelled out, "Who is it? What do you want?" Then the door opened before the young man could get away. The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. The man asked, "What is it?" The young man thrust out the gallon of milk and said, "Here, I brought this to you, " he said. The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway speaking loudly in Spanish. Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face. The man began speaking and half crying, "We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk." His wife in the kitchen yelled out, " I ask him to send an angel with some. Are you an Angel?" The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put it in the man's hand. Then he turned and walked back toward his car and tears were streaming down his face. He knew then that God does still speak to people... and answer prayers. (Unknown Author) QUOTE: "A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'the universe'.
