One of the enemy’s most effective tactics is sowing seeds of fear in our minds to dishearten us and bring God’s work to a halt. You will inevitably face moments when opposition closes in and threatens to erode your courage. The question is, will you allow fear to control you, or will you rise above it by remembering that God is greater than every circumstance? When you cultivate a moment-by-moment awareness of God’s power and presence, the fears that once held you captive begin to lose their grip. True freedom is not found in the absence of fear, but in fearing the Lord above all else. So, what fears do you need to bring to Him today?
Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places
God created us in His image to have fellowship with Him forever, and to seek Him alone for joy, meaning, and fulfillment. When we disconnect ourselves from Him, we begin an endless search for other things that we hope will satisfy us. These may include money, lust, power, career, relationships, acceptance, and addictions. Those things may satisfy us for a while, but they always leave us empty and thirsty, forcing us to start the search all over again. Have you been looking for life, love, and satisfaction in anything or anyone other than God, yet you’re still exhausted and empty? You need to reconnect your heart to the only true Source of life and living water. When you drink from the water He offers, you will never thirst again!
