1. 'CALM DOWN, SHUT UP, AND QUIT TRIPPIN'!
Psalms 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God." So many times we make situations more then they are, due to our anxiety. CALM DOWN! God has your life under control. He knows how to handle even the seemingly complex situation with ease. Then, SHUT UP! Stop having pity parties and talking about your problems all the time. Don't you know that the power of death and life is in the tongue? Stop speaking negative things into existence in your life. QUIT TRIPPIN'! When you look at your situations through your eyes, you often read more into the situation that what's there. It's not as bad as you think.
2. BE COURAGEOUS! 2 Timothy 1:7 - "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." Fear is not God. Have the courage to step out of faith and do the seemingly impossible. Start your own business, go into the ministry position, apply for that promotion...anything that you've been afraid to do and you know that God has called you to do...DO!
3. HAVE CONFIDENCE! Philippians 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." Remember, greater is He that's whitin you than he that's in the world. You have the power of the most High God working in you and you have His Son readily making intercession for you. You have nothing to worry about! Walk with your head up! You say you have low self-esteem; somebody told you that you'd never amount to anything...the devil is a liar! Know that you are somebody not because Jesus said it, but because you are a child of The King!
4. WALK IN THE VICTORY! Romans 8:28 - "And we know that all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." Do I need to say anything else? The jury has been out and the verdict is in - YOU WIN! In your finances - YOU WIN! On your job - YOU WIN! In your relationship - YOU WIN! In your health - YOU WIN! God has already worked it out for you. It may not come the way you think it should come, but remember - CALM DOWN, SHUT UP AND QUIT TRIPPIN'! He's working it out for your good.
Bless You |
