Fear Not – God Defends His Honour

YET TO BE # 240

Blasphemy is something that will never go unchecked by God. The evil words of the wicked are a mark against their existence. He is righteous and does not forget. When He raises His hand in judgement, His justice is swift.

Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blaspheme. Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. 2 kings 19 verses 6 and 7

My Ode to Romance Countdown to Valentine’s Day

love suffers long and is kind

12 of 14 Characteristics of Love

Love suffers long and is kind;

Love envies not;

Love vaunteth( boasted about) not itself;

Is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not

Her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Rejoiceth not in iniquity,

But rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things,

Endureth all things.

Love never fails. ( 1 Corinthians 13 verse 4 to 8)

Destress and Breathe and Exercise

slow controlled breathing can help lower your heart rate, your blood pressure and ease anxiety

Can breathing exercises help strengthen the lungs against Covid- 19?

As per an article from aarp.org, strengthening the lungs with deep breathing is good for pulmonary health by clearing out the lungs to help reduce the risk of infection and pneumonia.  Exercise does the same thing.  Aerobic exercise helps to keep your heart, lungs and circulatory system healthy.  Aerobic exercise means with oxygen which includes brisk walking, swimming, running, cycling, dancing any form of exercise that elevates the heart and forces oxygen into the lungs.

So does exercise and deep breathing protect you against Covid 19?  Experts cannot totally agree, but according to research Covid 19 attacks the lungs and if deep breathing and exercises are beneficial to increase lung health, why not do them?

Slow controlled breathing can help lower your heart rate, your blood pressure and ease anxiety. 

So, take another breath and relax or go for a walk.

 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air ( not without purpose) But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection (discipline)…1 Corinthians 9 verses 26 and 27a

Destress and Breathe

easy abdominal breathing technique

Relax is a verb, an action word meaning to make or become less tense or anxious. Learning to step back from a painful or stressful situation takes practice.  Taking a few minutes to be mindful of your surrounding circumstances is difficult, especially when the stress from these circumstances, threatens to zoom out of control.

How to handle stress?

Stop and squeeze into your busy day a 10 minute appointment.  This is a private session with yourself to relax.  Try some breathing exercises. They help to calm the mind and the body. 

Easy Abdominal Breathing Technique

  1. Sitting or lying in a comfortable position, close your eyes, relax your shoulders and allow any tension in your muscles to disappear if at all possible.
  2. Inhale deeply and slowly through your nose. Your belly should expand whilst your chest rises very little. If it helps, you can put your hand on your bellow and feel the inhaled The breath pushing that hand up.
  3. Exhale slowly through your mouth. Keeping your jaw relaxed, purse your lips as you blow, though remember to keep the exhale nice and gentle. Again, you can keep your hand on your stomach and very lightly push down as you exhale.
  4. Repeat for several minutes until you feel calm again. ( Lifehack: Mental Wellness by Chris Skoyler)

These exercises are even good when you experience tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Studies are showing that tinnitus within these Covid 19 times is on the rise. Relaxing is a very simple technique to practice and it can help to reduce tinnitus.

Take that 10 minute break.

The Bible says, casting all your cares upon him (the Lord) for he (the Lord) cares for you”. 1 Peter 5 verse 7
