The Little Foxes That Rob Your Peace Of Mind (Part 2)

Today we will look at the concluding part of the little foxes that rob your peace of mind. God has ordained perfect peace for you, so you must identify any fox that wants to steal it from you. Below are more foxes to watch out for.

1.    Low self-esteem
Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am only a youth. But the Lord said to me, Say not, I am only a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Be not afraid of them [their faces], for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord – Jeremiah 1:6-8 (AMP)

Low self-esteem troubles the heart. It affects your relationships and breeds insecurity and inefficiency. You need to see yourself as God sees you: you are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath. God has made you a king and you shall rule on earth.
Do not allow the lies of the enemy about you to steal your peace, neither allow the opinions of people to form you. Agree with God’s declaration of you and your self-esteem will improve tremendously.

2.    Unfulfilled expectations
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise – Hebrews 10:35-36 (NKJV)

Many times when people don’t realise their expectations, they tend to lose their peace of mind. It could be that people failed to meet up with your expectations of them or your heart desires were not met. Whatever the case may be, you should not allow unfulfilled expectations to rob you of your peace. You have need of patience to receive your heart desires.

The Little Foxes That Rob Your Peace Of Mind (Part 1)

What can rob your peace of mind? There are little foxes that you must beware of if you want to consistently be at peace. These foxes when not warded off have the power to destroy whatever they can lay their paws on. Therefore it is most important that you identify and deal with them. 

Catch us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes. - Song of Solomon 2:15 (NKJV) 

Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] – John 14:27 (AMP)

God has given you peace of mind through His son Jesus, but you need to diligently guard your heart in order to keep away anything that may trouble it. The root cause of no peace is lack of focus on Jesus, the Prince of peace. Anything that aims at taking your focus off Jesus is targeting your peace. Therefore, you must ensure that you deny these little foxes access to your heart.

The peace robbers

1.      Love of money

For the love of money is a root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have been led astray and have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves through with many acute [mental] pangs. 1 Timothy 6:10 (AMP) Read more...
