"The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want..." How freeing to know I shall not want, my God is everything; ever protecting and providing. "Trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own understanding" Prov. 3:5-6.
In hard times follow Abraham’s great great grandson Joseph. His dream as a teenager was success. Family sold him into slavery. Wrongly accused he went to prison. God arranged his resurrection. He became Prime Minister of Egypt. God shapes his best for our life (Phil.2:13).
Stop trying to be friendly with people who are fixed on being negative, users and critical. God has changed you and you are continuing to change – if they won’t change, it’s time for you to make space between them and you. Slowly change the faces of those nearest to you.
Anxiety builds on possibilities, things that are unlikely to happen. Anxiety and its twin friends, worry and fear, all have unstable foundations. It is like a ship without an anchor. Overcome them by filling your mind with the truth. Anxiety will shrivel as truth prevails
God does things his way. He has a purpose, which usually includes personal development. Change discomforts and that hardship is just the beginning. Lean into your unfolding future. The collateral damage of change is a God vital part; preparation for change up in your God life
Turn to God and raise your heart expectation to where faith rises above the facts. You now have that know-so belief in his ability which comes from within. Nothing will hurt me! (Luke10:19).
Life bypasses us if our focus is on being perfect in everything. This heightens frustration and bitterness. Choose your ‘perfections’ but keep the other parts of your life tidy and don’t worry if they are slightly imperfect. ‘f you lack wisdom; ask for God gives answers’James1:5
Nothing takes the place of reading the Bible ourselves. This grounds our faith, hope and life directly. God’s word is the weapon of the Spirit for the preserving of the human soul! It is the source of the power of God in our hearts. The Bible believed is a life changing force!
Shift the atmosphere to positive. Your whole self speaks. Walking, sitting in a group you know or do not know, relaxed with friends, speaking or not speaking – you are an influence. Make it count for good Proverbs 27:17.
Making mistakes is not dishonorable. A risk free life is no life and no mistakes! The big mistake of this approach is being tied up in the harbor of safety permanently. This prevents you doing what you are constructed to do. You are built to take risks.
