+ God, – Fear

We cannot completely prevent fearful thoughts. Some will be justifiable and shake us to the core. But if we allow the truth of God’s Word to descend into our spirit, as long as our Shepherd is with us, we will fear no evil. PSALM 23:4.

Joy

Are we looking for our own joy? It may not be found. Apart from God’s presence, there is no joy! NEHEMIAH 8:10.

Busyness is not a Spiritual Gift

Nothing robs the peace and joy from a Christian’s life more than constant busyness. That busyness may be veiled as spiritual drive for excellence, some kind of way to work out our salvation. Life can bring about big storms and the waves hit hard if we do not slow down. PSALM 46:10.

Creation

Our God masterfully weaves simplicity with complexity to achieve the beauty and wonder we see all around us in creation. JAMES 1:17.
