Power, Love, Sound Mind!

I never thought everything was spiritual until recently. I realised that I needed to hold on to God more than ever if I ever wanted to do anything worthwhile in life. Come to think of it, why would I want to do anything worthwhile without involving the One who gave me life in the first place?

I came to the conclusion that I am nothing without God, and I can do NOTHING outside of Him. And so, what this means is that I involve God in EVERYTHING I do. Doing this means that God shows me if that thing I am doing is of Him or not or how I need to do that thing to come out victorious.

However, just like any other thing in life, fear may try to creep in to steal one’s joy and focus, and one begins to derail, and then everything goes down the drain from there. 

Fear may want to come in through different places – that new project you want to work on, that new brief that you don’t know how to tackle, that news that seems to have spoilt the plans you have carefully laid out.

So, how do you seem to get out of this?

Before now, one of the ways I used to allow fear was when I was faced with a project or brief that I was not sure of how to tackle it. I allowed fear to cripple me because I don’t know what the first step of what I should do is or where to go, or what question to ask.

However, one thing is certain, once I ask God for wisdom or help concerning that project, solutions begin to come to me, and I know the next course of action to take.

This verse comes to mind whenever I am feeling fear or when my mind is playing tricks on me with so many intrusive thoughts:

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” – 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

POWER

LOVE

SOUND MIND

You do not need to fear because God has empowered us with the 3 things above. 

Whatever it is troubling you, you need to surrender it to God and take on the resources He has provided us with in His Word. Go to His Word and take comfort there.
