A Spirit of Love and Sound Mind
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)
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! … When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them?—Psalm 8:1a, 3-4, (NIV)
When you go outside at night and gaze upwards at the heavens—take in the vast beauty of the moon and stars. Recognize the infinite possibilities of God’s work. Apply that fresh perspective to your own situation and what you perceive as your problem.
Dear Lord, when I am focused on my problems, and most likely making mountains out of molehills, guide me to go outside, look upwards and have faith in Your omnipotence.
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)
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.—Proverb s 6:6–8 (NIV)
To all perfection, I see a limit, but your commands are boundless.—Psalm 119:96 (NIV)
