Family Building and Protection: You need God’s wisdom to build a home. You need the Protector (God) to watch over your home. God Is the builder and the protector.
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain (Psalm 127.1).
Tomorrow: Are you afraid of tomorrow? Are you confident that your plans will be realized? Nobody knows tomorrow, and nobody can be ever-present in tomorrow except God. Plans may fail but God abides always. God holds tomorrow.
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever (Psalm 125.1).
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof (Mathew 6.34)
Help: Humans will fail you if you lean on them for help. True help comes from the LORD God in heaven, maker of Heaven and earth.
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man (Psalm 118.8).
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
Daily Bread: God is the provider. The strength of man will produce little, but God’s power produces much.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep (Psalm 127.2).
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof (Mathew 6.31-34).
Neighborhood Security: The government or armed forces cannot protect a city from criminals, natural disasters, terrorists, accidents and murderers. Only God can keep a nation safe. Deadly war weapons or a ferocious and mighty army will not keep a nation safe.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God (Psalms 20.7).
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes (Psalms 118.8).
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God (Psalms 62.11).
Life Coaching: Every man needs God’s leadership. Man cannot lead himself nor can a fellow man lead another man. The guidance of parents is not enough. Each child needs God.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Prov. 3.5-6).
Health: Doctors and hospital do well but they will not treat every disease. God heals all incurable diseases and cures all oppressed by the devil.
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people (Mathew 4.23).
Character: Behavioral therapy can help but they do not produce lasting and effective results. Only God, through the power of his Holy Spirit, destroys bad destructive habits and builds good constructive habits.
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live (Romans 8.13).
