Text:  Luke 10:38-42

Subject:  “Maintaining A Right Perspective”

 

Introduction:  In order to overcome stress we need to maintain a right perspective!  There is an old Greek motto that says:  You will break the bow if you keep it always bent.

Wise words, but how do we loosen the strings?  Even when we make every effort to slow down and relax, others place high demands on us.  Their ‘shoulds’ and ‘oughts’ and ‘musts’ hit us like strong gusts of wind, driving our lives onto shallow reefs of frustration and even despair.[1] 

 

I.  The Perspective of Humanity (Vv. 38-40)

           

II.  The Perspective of Jesus (Vv. 41-42)

 

Application:  (Proverbs 3:5-6) Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
