THE NEXT BIG THING - Devo: Apr 24 - Lev 25:10

Proclaim liberty throughout the land! …

It shall be a JUBILEE for you …

Leviticus 25:10

 

We are NOT free. Just look at the statistics …

 

·         61% of workers report unrealistically heavy workloads … causing stress and often health problems.

·         55% of workers report job insecurity … which has a significant impact on stress levels too.

·         73% report that money and finances contribute to their stress level and more than half worry about providing for their families.

·         70% of families report health concerns in their family and extended family as another cause of stress.

·         The effects of stress include: Sleeplessness (47%), Irritability or Anger (60%), Depression (34%), Overeating or Indigestion (65%), Alcohol (18%), Headaches (34%), etc.

·         And even our children are not immune: For example, 42% of teens say they get headaches. (Although only 13% of parents report being aware of their children’s headaches.)

 

That’s not the way it’s supposed to be!

 

And it sure isn’t God’s plan!

 

The next BIG THING is coming to Spirit of Joy. And it’s NOT one more thing to do!

 

For the next several weeks (in a sermon series) and for the next several years (as we gently refocus our ministry), we will be utilizing God’s principles, including Jubilee, to help us restore balance to our lives.

 

Are you ready for more peace, joy, and freedom? We’re proclaiming a release to the captives! Join us, starting this Sunday!

 

In Christ’s Love,

Mr.
