Perhaps our greatest need is to learn day-by-day faithfulness in the little things.

Here's Adrian Rogers.

You know where most of us have most trouble in the routine of life?

I mean, when the storms come, we get through it.

When the opportunities are there, we sometimes meet the deadlines.

But it's one thing to soar like an eagle, it's one thing to surge

like an athlete, but it's another thing just to stick and to stay day by day.

Welcome to Love Worth Finding. Adrian Rogers said, if you can be a Christian at home,

you can be a Christian anywhere. Isn't that the truth? Do you ever find the day-to-day humdrum routine to be more stressful than the busy seasons? You're not alone. But just as we're called to soar through rigors in life and run through the rush of life, we are called to walk faithfully through the routines of life.

And God has equipped us to do just that, if we will wait upon him.

If you have your Bible, turn to Isaiah chapter 40.

Look at verse 31 as Adrian Rogers begins part two of how to handle stress.

Now we're talking about stress. What is stress?

Stress is that gap that is between the demands that are placed upon us and our ability to meet those demands.

The difference between those demands and our ability is what we call the stress factor.

Over here on one side are the responsibilities of life,

the necessities of life, the demands of life,

the opportunities of life, they're all over here. And over here

on all the things we want to do, desire to do, should do, ought to do, all of those things

over here, that's one thing. But now on the other side are all of those things that we're so

much aware of today, our inability, our weaknesses,

our sinfulness, our lack of knowledge, our faults. And we say, I want to. I ought to.
