3 Enemies To Our Peace Of Mind

I. Envy​

Envy against those who have more than you do.

The Antidote for "Envy" is to rejoice with other people for their success
​and pray that God will help you succeed.

Pride causes people to "show off" an extravagant or affluent lifestyle to impress others.​

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

(James 4:10)

III. Fear
​
Fear of not having enough.​

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.
Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

(Malachi 3:10)

But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

(2 Corinthians 9:6)

Prudent use of money and resources please God. Find the road back to Financial (Health) Freedom.

​Be thankful to God and enjoy the wonderful things that money cannot buy. We can relax because our lives are in God's hands.

You will keep in perfect peace
    those whose minds are steadfast,
    because they trust in You.
