Great Life Lesson from Dr. Fred Price

"Having lived for 80 years has given me a great deal of experiences and insight. There have been a number of lessons learned. Chief among them is the fact that I realized that when I was pastor of large and thriving ministry that I could not do it all. I have my place, my call, and my anointing, but I let the greater One do the work. I am always at rest. I could be stressed out right now because of all the things I have to do and all that I am responsible for. I decided early on that I refuse to be stressed out. I have delegated authority to others, and they do the work that they are assigned to do.I have things that need to be done within a certain time period. But the worst-case scenario is that if it does not get done, it does not get done. I don’t let it burden me. When the time comes for me to go home, I leave that work there. When I go home, I am off, and that means I am not going to do any more work. My philosophy is this: If I were dead and gone, what would happen to all the work? Somebody else will come and do it.  God gave me a brain so that I could use wisdom; if I don’t preserve me, I’m dead. I am not going to die from stress and overwork. I am going to rest. Take it from me, learning how to NOT do it all is one of life’s greatest lesson."

Thank You Fred Price.

I believe in hard work. I believe and setting and writing down your Goals.  I think you cannot be successful just working 40 hours a week.

But I also know that Rest is an accomplishment.  Stress can hurt you. Stress can lead to bad health. There will always be work to do. Take Pastor Fred's advice from this article.

Again The Bible shares Gods advice to us:

I Peter , Chapter 5 shares


   Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.  Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.  And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.  To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
