The Stress Eraser

Junk email is a fact of life these days. Consider the advertisement I received today for a marvelous new product called the StressEraser. The advertisement reads, "The StressEraser is a personal, portable, biofeedback device that won a major medical industry award for helping individuals achieve 'physiological, mental, and emotional relaxation' without prescription medications."

Wow... sounds impressive. The ad goes on to describe how one uses this palm sized electronic marvel: "Step 1 - Place your finger in the pulse sensor. Step 2 - Synchronize your breathing to the Breathwave display on the machine. Step 3 - In a few minutes, your mind will feel calm and relaxed." Amazing! All this for just $300.00! (Plus shipping, of course.)

Would it surprise you to know that you don't need such a device? You probably already have a stress eraser. It's called the Bible. And nothing can relieve the problems of life quite like a few minutes within its pages. "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." (Psalm 119:165)

Try this today, when stress threatens to overwhelm:

Step 1 - Place your finger in your Bible.
Step 2 - Open it and synchronize your mind with the words of God.
Step 3 - Enjoy the peace that passes all understanding.
