*Overcoming your shyness*

Friday 29th September 2023

'A man who has friends must himself be friendly.' Proverbs 18:24 NKJV

There are no shortcuts to overcoming shyness; you're going to have to work at becoming comfortable being with people. But you can do it.

Here are some sure-fire strategies to help you make friends: (1) You can't deny the fact that you're shy, but the more you keep talking about it, the more you reinforce its control over you. 'Wise words satisfy like a good meal; the right words bring satisfaction. The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences' (Proverbs 18:20-21 NLT). Why 'own' something so damaging to your goals and relationships? 'God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind' (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV). Fear is a spirit, and you must learn to reject it! The fact that you have named yourself 'shy' is no reason to shy away from chances to overcome it. Avoidance just reinforces your fear. (2) Engage in an activity you really enjoy so that you'll have something to chat about with passion and enthusiasm. (3) Try not to let signs and feelings of nervousness overwhelm you. Grin. It's contagious, and it's vital to appearing approachable. (4) Ask people to talk about their favourite subject - themselves. Then really listen and reply to their answers instead of worrying about what you will ask next.

Remember, you may be able to sway what people think about you, but you cannot control it - so stop thinking about their assessment or endorsement of you. Meditate on Philippians 4:6-9, and 'the God of peace will be with you' (Philippians 4:9 NKJV).

*God's in charge; trust Him*

Thursday 28th September 2023

'My hope is in you.' Psalm 39:7 NKJV

Life seldom works out exactly the way we hope or think it will. When Job lost everything, he said, 'I don't have the strength to endure. I have nothing to live for... I am utterly helpless, without any chance of success' (Job 6:11, 13 NLT). Yet in the end, Job got back twice as much as he had lost. But the experiences and adversities he had gone through changed his attitude towards God profoundly. 'I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted...My ears have heard of you but now my eyes have seen you' (Job 42:2, 5 NIV). What had Job discovered? That God is sovereign! He is not our servant, we are his servants. We must obey his word in order to walk in his blessing - but the final outcome of all things rests in his hands and not ours.

Many of us struggle with control, not only over our circumstances, but our goals, plans, relationships and all that concerns us. Such fear is often an indication of an unconscious desire to be independent of God; to be the master of our own destiny. Sometimes it's the result of growing up in a chaotic environment and resolving never to repeat the experiences of your earlier life. Perhaps you think you're in control of your life due to your educational, financial or other achievements. It isn't true. God enabled you to do everything that you have done.

Paul writes, 'But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his special favour on me' (1 Corinthians 15:10 NLT). Today God is in charge - trust him!

*Acknowledge your mistakes*

Wednesday 27th September 2023

'Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper.' Proverbs 28:13 NIV

Mistakes are a part of life. Successful people acknowledge theirs, learn from them and work to correct them. A study of 105 executives identified common characteristics shared by successful people, but one observation was particularly helpful. Successful people admit their mistakes and accept the consequences instead of blaming others. None of us enjoy reaping the consequences of our actions. When things go wrong, we have a natural tendency to look for someone to blame. It's in our DNA. In the garden of Eden when God asked Adam what he had done, Adam blamed Eve. And when God questioned Eve, she blamed the devil. The next time you mess up, think about who is really at fault and try to look at it objectively so you can learn from it and do better next time.

Somebody said the sooner you fail, the more time you have to improve. Ask yourself, 'What have I learned? How can I turn this failure into success? Where did I succeed besides fail?' People who accuse others for their failures never surmount them; they just move from problem to problem. To reach your highest potential, you must persistently improve yourself, and you can't do that if you don't take responsibility and learn from your errors. In life you will always have problems. The question is: will you stay down and wallow in defeat, or get back up on your feet and make the best of things by determining to fight another day?

Henry Ford said, 'Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.' So, live by the Bible principle, 'Even if good people fall seven times, they will get back up' (Proverbs 24:16 CEV).

*Pray for wisdom (1)*

Monday day 21th August 2023

'Now give me wisdom.' 2 Chronicles 1:10 NKJV

When King Solomon ascended to the throne, God told him, 'Ask! What shall I give you' (2 Chronicles 1:7 NKJV)? Imagine: Solomon was given carte blanche by the one in whose dictionary the word impossible doesn't occur. But there was a catch! God was testing Solomon to find out what was in his heart. An arrogant person would have asked for fame. A worldly person would have asked for wealth. A self-seeking person would have asked for power. What did Solomon ask God for? 'Now give me wisdom' (2 Chronicles 1:10 NKJV). So, God granted Solomon's request and gave him something more gratifying than fame, more extravagant than wealth, and more thrilling than power. As it turned out, all the material blessings Solomon enjoyed were by-products of the gift of wisdom.

An anonymous thinker wrote: 'Tell me your dreams, and I will tell you the riddle of your life. Tell me your prayers, and I will write the history of your soul. Tell me your askings, and I will tell you your gettings. Tell me what you seek, and I will tell you what you are...I do not wish to know your possessions...only your wants. I do not care to know what you have, only what you have not and desire to have; not your attainments, but what you have not yet attained and follow after; that which comes to you in your victories by day and your dreams by night, the ideal you set before you, the things you approve as excellent, what you seek after and have given your heart to, these are the measure of a man.'

So, pray for wisdom.
