Words of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 2 Nov 2008

Finding the right balance – fighting insecurities Again, having a balanced life can only come from the Lord. Today’s words of encouragement are about insecurities. Insecurities are common. However, if we don’t deal with them we will not have a balanced life. What are your insecurities? Dealing with our insecurities means being aware of them. It means giving them to God, asking God for help, repenting, and asking for forgiveness. In my opinion we need to fight insecurities, fight it out of our system and watch and see God transform our lives with the right balance. The most common forms of insecurities are jealously, comparison, feeling small, weak, a failure, etc. Why do we face these insecurities? In my opinion we are often insecure when we don’t trust God. Right now are we depending on God’s approval or the approval of man. Having a balanced life allows us to discern and know when we have been too extreme when it comes to seeking approval and acceptance from man. Having a balanced life means sometimes fighting insecurities on a daily basis. Insecurities creep up unsurprisingly when we let our guard down. We must guard our hearts constantly. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. © 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
