A Relaxed Life...

I want to let you in on a cool little resource. I went to the New Living Translation Website and signed up for a daily scripture devotional. It is one of the things I look forward to every day. God has used it many times to bring the “healing word” or a timely word of encouragement. It’s almost scary. Plus... the writers only write a couple of sentences to give you a focus to meditate or pray on.

Today’s text was especially reassuring...

A relaxed attitude lengthens life; jealousy rots it away. Proverbs 14:30

If life hasn't treated us fairly, we may think we have a right to be jealous of others, especially those who have more than we think they deserve. But jealousy only robs us of our inner peace. Be good to yourself--say no to jealousy and yes to contentment
