No fear

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

Learning about and receiving the unconditional love of God is what sets us free from fear. Nothing else will! “Perfect love casts out fear” (1 John 4:18 NASB). Only God has perfect love, and it can be yours by faith.

Faith expresses itself in love (see Galatians 5:6). How can we put our trust in God if we are not convinced He loves us at all times? Take God at His Word and begin to receive His love for you, which will set you free from all fear.

Power Thought: God’s love for me is perfect and unconditional; I have no fear.

See beyond

Lord, help us to see beyond our narrow limitations for people. We want to see what You see in them, but we will never see it without Your touch. Amen.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Man vs. Woman

The Bible encourages us to seek understanding. Read a couple of good books on the differences between men and women and also one on the differences in personalities. If you do, it may prevent thousands of arguments or misunderstandings. 

Women offer unsolicited advice and give direction, and men usually don't take advice very well. The woman thinks she is just trying to help, but the man thinks she doesn't trust him to make the right decision. 

When a woman disagrees with a man, he takes it as disapproval, and it ignites his defenses. Men only want advice after they have done everything they can do. Advice given too soon or too often causes him to lose his sense of power. He may become lazy or insecure. 

Faithful

Throughout life, God will bless you with an infinite amount of resources. You will be blessed with only so much money, time, assets and talents. 

With each blessing God has given you, He expects you to be a good steward of what He has blessed you with.

Be faithful with the little...

Enough

The true way to conquer finances is first to get a handle on it all. 

1 Corinthians 14:40 reminds us that everything we do must be done not only decently but in order. 

Throughout the Bible, you will see Jesus Christ of Nazareth performed all things decently and in order. Nothing shows us this better than the passage Mark 6:30-44. We see that even before He turned five loaves of bread and two fish into a sufficient amount to feed thousands, He first organized the people.

Good stuff! 

Instruction

Ever wonder how it feels to play a game that doesn't come with instructions OR the instructions aren't read to you? Hence, you not knowing what to do....

When we're frustrated or confused, we often feel hopeless. On the other hand, understanding makes us feel hopeful, and hope changes our attitude toward our circumstance. 

When we're confused or discouraged, we can find understanding by turning to God's Word (our instruction guide, manual, blueprint). The Bible shows us the right way to live and reminds us that God is in control of our lives. His Word gives us confidence and builds our hope (Romans 15:4).
