Good Morning Larry
I never share anything new I only look with you what GOD has already placed deep in our hearts of himself. So I am your co-looker of GOD.
You have heard be anxious of nothing and make your request be known to GOD...
Easy to say and you know there is truth in it but walking it out is a different story.
It's kind of like don't think about pink elephants. (good luck)
In the pressure of life and especially in business it seems like everything screams do this, and this and this. The pressure of everything can seem so frantic if you don't do it all now the world will blow apart.
In fact if you get 4 of these fr antics in a row it will wind you up in knot which will feel like a punch in the gut.
I want share with you 2 lies that satan loves to use.
Lie number 1 if you just work harder faster and longer you will succeed.
This is so easy to buy into because it is in your power to achieve it.
You can work harder, faster, and longer but the outcome satan knows is this is a dandy way to not only destroy you(burn out) but also your family because they carry your burden as well. And it preoccupies you from having a close relationship with Christ.
So how does this be anxious about nothing happen?
It comes by relationship,,,, not doing more but actually doing less. You stop doing so GOD can.
Think about when you were a kid all you had to do was what Dad told you to do.
It was a father to son relationship. Jesus did the same when he said "I only do what I see my Father doing..."
The world and everyone seems to be shouting you're the father do something!
That's the lie you are not the father you are the son.
To be a son that isn't anxious you need to relax into the father being able to calm the anxious seas that is driving you nuts.
This isn't a mindset that you walk around with, This is receiving real time love and affection from GOD to you.
A tangible real relationship where you look at him just as you would if your earthly Dad was standing right there. Just like your earthly Dad you can see GOD saying look at me Larry am I all frantic about the mess you're in?
NO I have thousands of years experience of loving my kids through messes and I love you so much I promise I will be with you every second and anytime you doubt that just look at me and I will reassure that I love you and I promise never to leave you by yourself.
MY love is a secure protective love that what you care about I care far more. All you have to do is look at me to see the truth.
When your little boy comes running to you scared do you not pick him up and love him to reassure him.
Well I am right here let me pick you I am the author of loving.
It is by you seeing I love you just as it would be by your love to your son that casts his fear and you have peace.
Live being constantly loved by me by turning and receiving.
Lie # 2 satan loves to say who you are is based on the bad decisions you've made. Look everyone is watching to see if you will fall flat on your face. They all trusted you and boy you are sure letting them down. What a joke you are thinking you could pull this off. You are the looser . Shame on you for getting everybody into this mess.
You see the accuser is very skilled at being a creep he's been practicing for thousands of years. He loves to throw on you it's all your fault and it is all up to you. For when you buy into it he knows it will take you down and keep you from your relationship with Christ.
Larry a real man of faith and love doesn't depend on himself, his life points that he is depending on GOD. And his life is an invitation for others to join him in being loved by GOD and letting GOD lead and feed him.
Confidence is shown to others by your ability to be loved, that you walk secure with his gentleness as a son not a father.
The load you carry is that you know what GOD desires of you today and you live in his love doing it.
If there is a decision that needs to be made you wait for GOD's confirming peace. If time demands an answer now you know that GOD can use your choice even if it turns out to be a bad decision.
You know and live in the GOD that has never said "Larry I want you to worry about this today."
You know and live in this wonderful GOD that says "I am sufficient to handle whatever this day has let's go do it together."
You know when fears and pressures come to look to your father and see if he is worried,to see if He is still concerned about what your facing and be reassured that he is right there for you.
The big difference between GOD and satan . GOD will give a direction the next step he is constructive not destructive. satan will let you sit and stir, keep you up worrying and let you rot in anxiousness.
Bottom line :
The very best thing you can do is as you go through the day keep asking, Lord show me I'm loved by you. Show me how to live being loved this day with you.
Your co-looker of GOD
and fellow brother loved of GOD
