The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust Another Prospective

Lots of people have had to endure some major downpours of rain in the forms of losing a loved one to a Mass Shooting, or Covid-19, or a child to school shootings, or intense hatred from Racism. Then there are also lives that were lost to Political Divisions like the rampage at the U. S. Capitol building, and the loss of life from opioid addiction. The list is endless of bad things that happen to good people. However, we must remember that Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. Two of the greatest spirited motivational speakers Tony Robbins & Les Brown tell us to keep the faith and keep moving forward. After the rain, God will give us all beauty for ashes.

As we have read in the bible, but I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. – The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust Another Prospective

God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for all our sins. God also gave us freedom of choice and some of us choose to live life doing good while others choose to do evil. God is no respecter of persons so all of us will have to endure testing periods in our lives. One of the greatest well-known figures in the bible went through long arduous testing from God. Joseph had to wait 13 years before he lived his dream of being second in command to Pharoah. Joseph endured lots of trials: being thrown in a ditch by his brothers was sold into slavery, was imprisoned because he was wrongfully accused of trying to sleep with Pharoah’s wife, and finally, he interpreted a dream and was released from prison and was promoted to second in command behind Pharoah. – The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust Another Prospective

Remember God never gives you more than you can bear, you are stronger than you think. Remember events will happen in life but your reaction to them will determine the outcome as to whether you pass the test and rise or if you fall. You cannot have a testimony if you do not have a test. – The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust Another Prospective

Christian Books – Negativity – Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God

Let go of the people who dull your shine, poison your spirit, and bring you drama. Cancel your subscription to their issues. – Steve Maraboli

“Negativity is the enemy of creativity.” — David Lynch

“There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.” — W. Clement Stone

“Fall seven times and stand up eight.” – Japanese Proverb

“When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.” – Rumi

Daily we truly must maintain control of our minds. What we allow to grow in our minds in the present and fertilize it is what our future will be like. In the same way, we must also watch the words we speak because they will also shape our future. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” – Proverbs 18:21. “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.” – Proverbs 23:7. Where the man goes the mind follows. – Joyce Meyer. http://www.miraclebook.net

In the same way that a car battery has a negative and positive terminal, we have the choice to live either negatively or positively. We also have the choice to speak negative or positive words and most definitely we have the choice regarding who to keep company and friendships with. Sure, we also have negative family members, but we can also control how much time we spend with them. Choice is something that God gave us from the beginning when he created Adam and Eve. God warned them about the tree of knowledge of good and evil and not to eat of it, but Eve chose to be deceived by the serpent and Adam chose to go along with Eve in eating the fruit from the tree. Christian Books – Negativity – Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God

Every day we are presented with many choices, but it is up to us to choose wisely. That is why it is so critical to pray for wisdom daily. Some things we can stay away from completely. An example of this would be if you are a person who is allergic to shellfish then do not order it when dining out at a restaurant and do not buy it to cook for meals. If you do then you know what is next, you will have to snuggle up with a bottle of Benadryl when you break out in hives. However, there are times when you do not have control over things or persons that are negative. If your co-worker is a negative person then do not sit down and have lunch with them every day. Remember that adage that says couples married for a long time begin to look alike. “Back in 1987, scientists from the University of Michigan set out to study the phenomenon of married couples who grow to look more alike over time. (Their theory, which scientists still cite today, was that decades of shared emotions result in a closer resemblance due to similar wrinkles and expressions.)” – This is a part of an article written by JAMIE DUCHARME back on April 4, 2019, who works for Time.com. Well, the same thing applies to the company you keep. If you continuously hang around a negative person you will pick up their habits. Christian Books – Negativity – Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God

Life is short and every moment counts. You do not have time to surround yourself around negativity. You need to look at the glass as half full and not half empty. Curtail negative words such as: Cannot, Do not, Impossible, Unable. Instead replace them with words like: Can, Attainable, Possible, Confident, Empowered. Remember in the bible it says, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” – Philippians 4:13. Christian Books – Negativity – Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God

It is also necessary that we do not hold onto negative things that people have done to us and hurt us and keep replaying them in our minds. You are only hurting yourself. Trust me I know firsthand. You must pray and ask God to help you to be a bigger and better person. Wrapping yourself up in negativity like the blanket that Linus carried around with him from the Charlie Brown cartoon will only detract from a life of thriving. http://www.miraclebook.net

Christian Books – Faith – Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God

Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – Faith

Faith – belief and trust in and loyalty to God, belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion, something that is believed especially with strong conviction, complete trust.

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. – Voltaire

Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase. – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible. – Corrie ten Boom

We all were created in the image of God and he had faith in his creation of Adam and Eve when he placed them in the Garden of Eden. They disobeyed God but he continued to create even more of us. Even when he destroyed the earth by floodwaters, he spared Noah’s family and two of every kind of animal and when the floodwaters abated, he stated for us all to multiply and replenish the earth. Now you realize that if this had happened to most if not all of us, we would have been so distraught and disappointed in what we created we would have come up with another idea and never created human beings again. Gratefully we are not God and he continued to have faith in us and desired so much to have a relationship with us that he tried again and again. He continues to do that daily because his mercy for us is unending. God is still expecting all of us to become the image of his son Jesus. Christian Books – Faith – Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God. http://www.miraclebook.net

We all need to strive to have an abundance of faith. We need to not just give up so easily and run to what we believe is the next best thing. Sure, we can do this if we have a change of heart regarding a food choice but that is not the same as the church, work, marriage, etc. Some of us are just too quick to change our church because we do not like or agree with the pastor anymore or a member of the church has hurt us in some way. Some people change jobs like you would change underwear. There is no stability anymore. I have the pleasure of knowing a banker who has worked for the same bank for 31 years. Remarkable! That is unheard of nowadays. Marriages nowadays are like going to an ice cream parlor and choosing several different flavors and then adding toppings. Christian Books – Faith – Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God.

God is faithful and we should be the same in our daily lives. If God places a thought or idea in our minds, we should have faith to believe that he will see it through. The bible says, “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” – Philippians 1:6. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. – Jeremiah 29:11.

The bible has so much to say about faith. Look at these verses:

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” – Hebrews 11:1

“But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” – Hebrews 11:6

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” – Ephesians 2:8-9

There are numerous stories of people in the bible that had faith, but this is one example of a woman who had great faith. “And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, when she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace and be whole of thy plague. – Mark 5:25-34. Now the first thing that makes this passage in the bible so outstanding is that this woman was dealing with this health issue for twelve years. Most of us would have given up and had no faith or hope anymore. She spent all the money she had and to no avail. However, she pressed on in faith believing that if she could touch Jesus, she would be made whole. Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – Faith

Great faith is the product of great fights. Great testimonies are the outcome of great tests. Great triumphs can only come out of great trials. – Smith Wigglesworth

Do you have any faith? If you do how strong is it? Miracles happen for those who have faith and believe. Christian Books – Faith – Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God.

Thriving – It’s Never Too Late

Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – It’s Never Too Late

The time for action is now. It is never too late to do something. – Antoine de Saint – Exupery

It is never too late to be what you might have been. – George Eliot

It is never too late to give up what you are doing and start doing what you realize you love. – Hans Rosling

Time marches on daily. Every day has 86,400 seconds. How many of them are you using to advance your future? The past is the past, and it will never return however the future is right in front of you. Are you looking at your life on a 32-inch TV screen when you can be shaping it with what you really love on an 85-inch TV or even bigger? Do not keep looking behind you like the rearview mirror in your car does. It is never too late to see your life in the front windshield window of your car or if you are bold and daring to see it as the size of a movie screen in the theatres. Thriving – It’s Never Too Late. http://www,miraclebook.net

There are countless people whose lives and futures did not spark at puberty or adolescence. They did not give up and settle. They realized that it is never too late and continued to persevere until they began to thrive in life.

Henry Ford – Had several failures, but he did not let them deter him. In 1899, at the age of 36 years old, Ford formed his first company, the Detroit Automobile Company, that company went bankrupt. His second attempt was in 1901 when he formed the Henry Ford Company, which he ended up leaving with the rights to his name. That company was later renamed the Cadillac Automobile Company. However, it was Ford’s third try, with the Ford Motor Company, that success bloomed. He was 40 years old when he started the Ford Motor Company. www.wikipedia.com

Samuel Jackson – Was a social worker before he began his acting career. He had small roles in the films Goodfellas and True Romance. However, he finally became a star when he appeared in Pulp Fiction when he was 45 years old.

Colonel Sanders – Worked many jobs including fireman, tire salesman, insurance salesman, and of course, a cook. In 1952 he hit the road and began trying to sell his franchise-model chicken restaurant. He traveled across the U.S. looking for someone to sell his fried chicken, and after finally getting a business deal in Utah, Kentucky Fried Chicken was born. He was 62 when KFC was established. KFC is now one of the most recognizable franchises in the world. The company grew and expanded faster than he could have ever imagined. In 1964, at the age of 74 years old, Sanders sold the company for $2 million dollars to a group of investors. www.wikipedia.com

Jeremy Renner – Worked as a part-time make-up artist to survive. Finally, at the age of 38, he starred in “The Hurt Locker” and his acting career began. He has since starred in blockbuster films such as The Avengers, Jason Bourne Legacy, and Mission Impossible.

J.K. Rowling – Rowling is one of the most inspirational success stories of our time. Many people simply know her as the woman who created Harry Potter. But what most people do not know is what she went through prior to reaching stardom. Rowling saw herself as a failure at this time. She was jobless, divorced, penniless, and a dependent child. She suffered through bouts of depression, eventually signing up for government-assisted welfare. J.K. Rowling was a single mom living off welfare when she began writing the first “Harry Potter” novel. The first Harry Potter book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was published in June 1997 and J K Rowling was 32 years old. Rowling is now internationally renowned for her Harry Potter series and, in US currency, became the first billionaire author. Motivation Leads To Success – Facebook.

Steve Harvey – He had a passion to be on TV since he was 10 years old. Through many trials and tribulations that passion and purpose never became a reality until he was 38 years old. He is now one of the most successful comedians ever.

If these people could do it late in life, then so can you. It truly is never too late. The bible says. “God is no respecter of persons.” Thriving – It’s Never Too Late.

Thriving – Your Appointed Time

We live in an extremely fast-paced world where everything needs to come to us instantly. Banks have drive-thru lanes, so people do not have to go inside the bank and wait in line. However, sometimes you must wait in line in the drive thru even if there are two or more lanes. Almost every restaurant has drive-thru lanes as well so we can get the food fast and in the comfort of our vehicles. Surprisingly, there are some places that do not believe in instant gratification like Italy. About six years ago my husband and I traveled to Italy for our thirtieth wedding anniversary and were shocked and surprised to know that they do not have microwaves in Italy. The Italians believe in fresh food that is tasty and using a microwave to quickly heat up dinner is not for them. Thriving – Your Appointed Time. http://www.miraclebook.net

Therefore, we have such a difficult time waiting for our appointed time for our breakthrough. God does not work on the same thought process as we do, and this keeps us frustrated. A thousand years for God is like one day. God created all of us with a specific purpose in life we are to execute. According to what that purpose is that will determine our growth time and our refining period. God will not elevate us until we are ready to handle the tremendous future, he has in store for us, so we do not crash and burn because we were not ready. The bible says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28. Jesus said, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10. Thriving – Your Appointed Time.

We have all heard the phrase “patience is a virtue” and it really is. For those of us that are a type A personality like me, this can be a real struggle sometimes. However, God has a sense of humor because every time he tries to promote us, he gives us a test and if we fail, he will just continue to retest us until we pass. This is what the children of Israel had to go through when they were released from Egypt and kept failing the test which is why they spent 40 years in the wilderness for a trip that should have only taken 11 days.

Be patient and wait for your appointed time because what God has for you in your future will astound you because it is much bigger and better than what you had in mind.

Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – Vision

Where there is no vision, the people perish. Do you have a vision for your life? Can you visualize what you want to accomplish in the next 5 years, 10 years, or more? If you are having a difficult time thinking that far into the future, then think 30 days ahead. Your vision assists in defining your goals. Your vision becomes your why in life. When you have a vision, it stimulates you into action. When you think and approach your vision the most vital things are to direct your mind regarding what you really want not what is your ability or capacity. Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – Vision http://www.miraclebook.net

Some examples of visions people have are to own their own home, have a brand new car, own their own business, be healthy, get married, travel the world, have a successful career in the field they are most passionate about, be debt-free, and many others. One of the ways to start moving these visions into reality is to have a vision board. All successful people tell you this is a must to go from living a life of just surviving to a life of thriving. Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – Vision

A vision board consists of pictures and texts of the goals you what to accomplish in life. If you are just aimlessly going through life you will never succeed. In the bible, in the book of Habakkuk it reads, “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” – Habakkuk 2:2. So how do you start in designing your vision board you write down your goals of the things you wish to achieve. Cut out the photos and texts of your goals and pin them on a board that you keep in front of you where you see it daily and it will stimulate you into action.

God had a vision of how he wanted to create the world and he executed it in six days. Now it is critical that you do not deviate from your vision if it is taking a while to manifest itself. God will bring it to pass at the appointed time. “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end, it shall speak, and not lie though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” – Habakkuk 2:3. Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – Vision

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. – Jonathan Swift

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision. – James Whistler

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world. – Joel A. Barker

Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – Belief

Belief – a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing, something that is accepted, considered to be true, or held as an opinion: something believed. http://www.merriam-webster.com

For young children at Christmas time, their belief is in Santa Claus. They look forward to going to see Santa and tell him what they want for Christmas. On Christmas Eve they prepare a delicious plate of cookies for Santa with milk and carrots for his reindeer. Christian Books – Belief -Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God. http://www.miraclebook.net

Children’s belief system in things they do not see is much stronger than adults’. As adults, we have gone through the rigors of life and so if something is not feasible to our thought process or not man-made that we can clearly see our belief is almost nil.

Roller Coasters have become one of the mandatory rides for thrill-seekers whenever they visit amusement parks. They have become an engineering marvel, and have been constructed to be taller, faster, and wilder than ever. Why is it though we climb into the roller coaster giddy, sweaty, pumped with adrenaline and belief that the ride will be awesome! We never have a wavering belief that our feet will never land safely on solid ground within 3 1/2 to 4 minutes after the inception of the ride. So, if we are so confident and stable and grounded in our belief in a man-made steel object why is our belief so flimsy in our creator? Christian Books – Belief – Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God.

In the famed movie “The Wizard of Oz”, the good witch Glinda told Dorothy that she needed to believe. In the bible in the book of Matthew, it says, “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” If you can only have belief in what can be seen and not in the things that are unseen, you will never thrive in life. Mary Jesus earthly mother believed that he could do miracles and that is why she told the disciples to do whatever he instructed them to do at the party when he turned water into wine.

When you enlarge your belief, you enlarge your life.

Thriving – The Master Ingredient

The Christmas & Hanukkah holiday season is a time when quite a lot of baking takes place. In all the baking that goes on every recipe has several ingredients to make it taste so delicious. For instance, one of the popular items for these holiday seasons is Gingerbread cookies. Now the ingredients to make these cookies are baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground allspice, ground cloves, salt, freshly milled black pepper (optional), 1 stick unsalted butter, vegetable shortening (optional), light or dark brown sugar, unsulfured molasses, pure vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Well, all of this sounds great, but you are still missing the master ingredient which is at least 3 cups of all-purpose flour. If you are missing the master ingredient your cookies will never come out right. Thriving – The Master Ingredient. http://www.miraclebook.net

This same principle applies to trying to live a life without God. He is the master ingredient. God will take you to levels that you cannot imagine and take you from a life of just surviving to thriving. Do you have dreams, goals, and aspirations you want to reach and conquer? Well, none of them will be possible if you do not have the master ingredient. God must always be the mainline, not a sideline. It is just like having a car that you expect to take you where you want to go without putting gas in the tank. God is the master ingredient that you must have to travel through this earthly journey of life. Sure, just like regular roads you will run across uneven paving, potholes, and a host of other things that make traveling challenging but without God you will never have a chance of making it.

God never promised a blissful or pain-free life, but he did promise he would be with you always. If Jesus struggled while he was here on earth what makes you think you will be the exception to the rule? When challenges come do not be fearful and think God has abandoned you. God says in his word, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” – Isaiah 41-10. In the word of God, it also says, “But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” – Psalm 75:7.

Do not be the one he puts down because you forgot or do not want to acknowledge that God is The Master Ingredient. Thriving – The Master Ingredient.

Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – Consistency

What is consistency? – degree of firmness, density, viscosity, or resistance to movement or separation of constituent particles; firmness of constitution or character. http://www.merriam-webster.com

People that are looking to change their lives and implement good habits must use consistency. They say it takes 30 days of a daily habit to make it automatic. However, consistency is critical if you want to make a habit stick. This applies to all aspects of your life. Consistency manifests routines and enlarges momentum. Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – Consistency. http://www.miraclebook.net

Small disciplines repeated with consistency everyday lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.” – John Maxwell

“If you are persistent you will get it. If you are consistent you will keep it.” – Anonymous

Jesus was the most consistent person that ever walked the earth. He is the best example we can ever imitate. However, we do have earthly examples as well. Daniel in the bible was one of those examples. King Belshazzar wanted to understand an interpretation that was written on the palace wall and so he called in wizards, magicians, and astrologers and stated whoever could interpret the writing would be dressed in a purple robe and be given a gold chain of honor and would be third in power of the kingdom. Unable to decipher what the writing meant, they called Daniel since they knew he could interpret writings to come before the king. Upon arrival, Daniel could interpret the writing. Daniel advised the king he was not acknowledging God and praying to other spirits and this displeased God, and he should change his ways. The king refused and, that night, he was killed. Darius the median took over the kingdom and promoted Daniel. Darius immediately had Daniel dressed in a purple robe and given a gold chain of honor. King Darius appointed 120 governors to oversee the kingdom and additionally he chose Daniel and two others to supervise those governors. The supervisors and governors plotted to disgrace Daniel. They spoke to King Darius and advised him to make a decree if anyone prayed to other Gods besides him over the next 30 days should be killed. The king agreed. The governors and supervisors spied on Daniel and saw him praying three times daily to God and told the king. The king was distraught at this news but ordered Daniel to be thrown into the lion’s den. A stone was placed in front of the den and they locked Daniel in. God sent an angel to lock the jaws of the lions for the night. The king spent a sleepless night and refused to eat. At dawn, King Darius rose and went to the lion’s den. Upon seeing that Daniel was alive and well, the king made a decree that everyone should fear, and respect Daniel’s God. What Daniel did by staying consistent in praying to God proved to God that Daniel was ready to give his life if necessary because God is who allowed him to thrive.

Whether you are trying to convert bad habits into good ones be consistent. If you are trying to lose weight, stop smoking, read your bible daily, become a giving person, keep a positive mindset, becoming more frugal, showing more kindness, keeping a daily attitude of gratitude, etc. you need to have stick-to-itiveness and consistency. God will bless your life for being consistent and above all being consistent in loving him because remember he loved us all first and gave his only begotten son Jesus for us all.

Thriving – Overcome and then Overflow

Overcoming – to gain the superiority; to get the better of, overcome difficulties

Every one of us in life at one time or another had to overcome something. A big one that everyone has had to deal with at one time or another is FEAR. Whether it was a fear of heights, speaking in public, fear of being confined or in crowded places, fear of thunder and lightning, and a host of others. To become successful and live a life of thriving you will have to overcome many things to enter that life of overflow. Thriving – Overcome and then Overflow. http://www.miraclebook.net

It is amazing how God has set the tone for us from birth. The way to tackle anything is to take it one step at a time. When a baby starts to learn to walk, they take one step at a time. Sure, they fall but eventually, they can take a least 2-3 steps at one time before they fall again. Parents will help them back up and set them on course to make more steps. The same thing applies in adulthood you must take it one step at a time. Thriving – Overcome and then Overflow

If you a looking to become a librarian you will need to get a bachelor’s degree, then a master’s degree in library science preferably from an American Library Association (ALA) program. In total it may take you 5-6 years to reach your goal. Top librarians can earn as much as $76,000.00 per year. Well, the overcome in this situation is enduring the 5-6 years of schooling and the overflow is the salary. If you are interested in becoming a public speaker and are nervous when you must speak to large crowds of people, then you probably need to become involved with a group called Toastmasters International where you will have to do public speaking to help build your communication and leadership skills and dissolve your fear of speaking in public. Jack Canfield is a businessman, author, and motivational speaker who has received $25,000.00 per speaking engagement. Thriving – Overcome and then Overflow

Whatever you are looking to overcome the bible with God’s word is the authority on it:

Anxiety & Worry – “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” – Deuteronomy 31:6

Depression – “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.” – Psalm 34:15 & 17

Discouragement & Despair – “Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]!” – 2 Corinthians 4:16-17

Fear – “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” – Psalms 27:1

Insecurity – “Fear thou not; for I am with thee be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” – Isaiah 41:10

Stress – “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” – Philippians 4:6

Temptations – “In the day when I called, you answered me; and You strengthened me with strength (might and inflexibility to temptation) in my inner self.” – Psalms 138:3

God has planned an abundant overflow life for all of us. He said so in his word, “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [a]overflows).” – John 10:10. We just must do our part which is to overcome and then the overflow will stream like rivers of water.
