Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones. (Proverbs 3:7-8)
I had the privilege of hearing Jeremie Kubucek, CEO of GiANT Impact, speak yesterday morning about overcoming our desires for self-preservation, which is a tendency that sabotages many people today. Self-preservation, as Jeremie described it, is living in fear of losing something. When you live with the fear of losing something, it cripples your efforts to live a productive life and everything you do is only mediocre, at best.
To expand upon this principle a little further, the person who lives their life according to God's master plan is a person that values their time and seeks to make the most of the time God has given them. When we live prideful lives, we are living according to our own plans and our own will, ignoring God's wisdom along the way. We must make the decision each and every new morning to seek God in humility and dependence that His ways are truly better than our own.
God does not want His children to live in fear. In fact, it's quite the opposite; He wants us all to live productive lives with the confidence, joy, wisdom, peace, and love that only He can provide.
Apply God's principles to work in your life and you will experience great strength, success, and health!
