knowing God by: Not Worrying

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,  casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

1 Peter 5:6-7 

Never worry in life. To every problem there is a solution. To every bad moment there is a good moment. 

Life may be hard, but with God, He takes those bad days and turn them into good. 

If you're looking for a job and haven't found one for years. You WILL find one. Anything bad in your life will turn good with God.

In this verse it says humble yourself and that is what you should do, humble yourself do not stress yourself.  Also in this verse it says, that he is casting all your anxieties on Him and by casting them on Him, He will turn them into good.

Therefor, do not worry.

Keep your head Up

Knowing God by: Serving Him

'What will you gain if you own the whole world, and destroy yourself?"
Mark 8:36

What does being successful mean? To some it means having expensive stuff, or clothing, or being skinny.
To others it means having fame and a great career. It takes a lot of energy to achieve that.
It's OK to be successful, but be careful not to lose your relationship with God. You may have all the money, fame and great stuff, but if you don't know God, you have nothing.
Know why? Because eventually, everyone dies. Everyone.
Eternity is ahead and if you don't know God, you will spend that eternity in Hell... Not fun.

Knowing God by: Being Like Christ

"If you want good fruit you must make the tree good, if your tree is not good, it will make bad fruit. A tree is known by the fruit it produces."
Matthew 12:33

Apple picking is fun. Running up and down the aisles of the orchard, picking nice and health apples. You especially like the ones with bird bites and worms oozing out of them, right? Yeah not so much. You want the one with no bird bites,or worms. You want a healthy apple.
And a healthy apple comes from a healthy tree.
Same goes for Christ- Followers, see, you can say "Christian" quotes, or verses, but the way you may treat others may not be the same as  the words you're saying.
That's the bad fruit in this verse.
How do you learn to be like Christ? Get to know Him.
You can get to know Him by reading His word and about His life. If you're learning about God, you are learning how you should live your life.

Knowing God by: Fighting Fear

"For God has not given us the power of fear and timidity, but of power, of love and of self discipline."
2 Timothy 1:7

Fear is a spirit. Fear uses your phobias, or your fear.
Fear is your weakness. But, you cannot run away from fear. You must run toward it. Like I said, fear is a spirit, therefor, it can talk. It will out talk you and you will run from it. You can't go up to your fear and say, " I'm too scared, nah I'm not gonna do it." No you have to say, " I am with the Lord my God, I shall not be afraid, I will face my fear, I will walk into my fear."
You must out talk the fear.
You can't let the fear overcome you.
You can't be afraid of a snake that's in your house. You have to go up to it and say, "I'm not afraid of you, this is my house, Go."
You can't be afraid of the dark. You have to walk into the dark and say. "Fear will not overcome me. I am not afraid of darkness."
Was David afraid of of Goliath? Goliath, a 10 feet tall giant?! No David was not afraid, he went up to him and took one sling and knocked him down.
Therefor, do not be afraid of fear. You are stronger that it and can and will overcome it.

Knowing God by: Following God's plans

 "For I know the plans I have for you," declared the Lord, " plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11

Things may not go your way.
Maybe the way you want things to happen, is not the way God wants things to happen.
God has a plan for you!
God's plan may not be the way you want it to, but it is the right plan. Whatever plan God has for you is taking you down the correct path.
For example; If your someone looking for a job and you've been waiting for 3 years, maybe the jobs you're applying for is not the one God wants you to have, or it's not the right time for a job.
God always has a plan and his plan is the right path!

Knowing God by: Believing in Him

 "Believe in the Lord you God and you shall be saved."
Acts 16:31

No matter how tough life gets, you must ALWAYS believe in God, He will always come through.
You could be having problem with your friends, or family, or anything, but no matter how long it takes, no matter how tough it gets, believe in the Lord your God and He will ALWAYS come through.
