The truth of the matter is that God is for you, and since that is so, you need not worry about your life. Worrying doesn’t lengthen your days of life. Step out in faith, knowing very well that God has your case in mind to deal with it for you.
Anxiety makes you doubt God’s provisions for your life, especially when you aren’t on any payroll. But God’s ways are past finding out. If He can direct what ways ravens should fly in order to get food to eat, then He knows how to provide for you in ways that aren’t in the traditional thinking of man’s ways of getting needs met.
Sometimes, when God inspires you to help others, you may not have all the resources you need to do that, both financial and human resource-wise. However, once that desire is there, God doesn’t care about multiplying the little you have for it to become plenty for people to enjoy.
When you pray, have faith for what you are praying for. Don’t pray telling God about your problems, and go back to worrying about the same issues you prayed about. It’s a disservice to yourself if you engage in that practice.
Solomon, in Ecclesiastics 12:12 did say that too much study is wearisome to the flesh, not to your spirit. So, in no way does Ecclesiastes 12:12 tell you to put limits on getting divine knowledge. That is why there’s nowhere in scripture that tells you to limit your pursuit to know God better.
Dear parent, your young boy or girl may be battling with certain addictions you are not even aware of. The best way to secure that child’s future is to teach him to remember his creator in the days of his youth. On the other hand, ensure your children love church right from their infancy. It’ll establish them in God.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 11:10 that as a young person, you need to banish anxiety from your heart. In other words, feel free to do whatever you like in those years of your life, only remembering that God will bring you into judgment.
One of the most exciting things about being a youth is that you can do so much in those years. Some people use those times to engage in secular entertainment, adversely affecting them later in life. Others use those years to know God more intimately, which pays off later in life. Choices are more powerful than what statistics say. So, to you, as a youth reading this, what are you doing with your life?
God can make you wise also, if and only if you ask Him (see James 1:5). Why? Because God wants more people to be impacted by His Word. So, don’t be satisfied with constantly receiving from the Lord’s servants; also, be conscious of giving out gracious words to others.
Every successful business person can attest that it takes a lot of diligence to establish his company in whichever industry he’s working in. There’s nothing that easy on this earth to do. Even if you are living purposefully and doing exactly what God called you to do, you must be diligent.
Don’t be caught in a web succumbing to unending addictions. Sometimes, withdraw and think about where your life is going with such addictions. If it is bad, get back on track with God, lest you jeopardise your future.
Many people have not accelerated high above their financial goals because they spend much of what they earn on unnecessary things. If you are one of such people, you need discipline. But this discipline I’m talking about isn’t the one that is self-motivated but God-inspired.
