Loving God with all your mind means managing your mind and making the most of it. It means loving God logically and creatively, intuitively, and thoughtfully. Albert Einstein, one of history’s greatest minds, said: ‘The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.’ Downplaying his genius, Einstein said, ‘I have no special gift, I am only passionately curious.’

The Bible says, ‘The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein’ (Psalm 24:1 NKJV). So, your curiosity should be boundless and without limits. The Latin word for ‘education’ means ‘to draw out’ rather than ‘to cram in’. Most academic programs focus on force-feeding knowledge rather than releasing curiosity. The result? We know some things, but we lose what’s most vital: the love of learning. In one study of a top university, the highest scoring graduates were given their same final exams one month after graduation. All of them failed. When you attempt to cram the truth into your mind, it seldom gets past the short-term memory. And it assuredly doesn’t get into the soul. Sadly, sometimes that’s what happens in church each weekend. What’s the answer? Put God’s Word into practice every chance you get.

Most people spend about half their waking lives at work. Your work is a huge part of God’s plan for your life. He designed a specific vocation just for you in which you should find personal fulfilment, meet your needs, and help to contribute to His purposes on the earth. The fourth commandment covers all seven days of the week, not just the Sabbath. ‘Six days you shall labour and do all your work … for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth’ (Exodus 20: 9,11 NIV). Sometimes you hear sermons designed to make you feel guilty about not keeping the Sabbath, but have you ever heard a sermon designed to make you feel guilty about not honouring the six-day workweek?

The point is that just as God made and loves the Sabbath, He also made and loves work. The Bible says, ‘The kingdom of God is in your midst’ (Luke 17:21 NIV). Whether you’re a sales assistant, you mow lawns, or are an apprentice, you’re required to demonstrate integrity in the workplace. It’s embarrassing when nonbelievers say, ‘I’ll never do business with a Christian again.’ The Bible says, ‘O LORD … how excellent is Your name in all the earth …’ (Psalm 8:1 NKJV). You should strive to be excellent in your work. Lateness, clock-watching, messing around, gossiping, flirting, speaking evil about your boss – these things should have no place in your life. The Bible says, ‘Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful’ (1 Corinthians 4:2 NIV)’ You should go to work praying, ‘Lord, today I want to do a good job and bring credit to Your name.’

In the Bible, you will notice that everybody works! And most of the Bible’s heroes had secular vocations. Isaac developed land, Jacob was a farmer, and Joseph served God best by staying in his well-paying government job rather than starting a non-profit, faith-based organisation to do charity work. Daniel was an immigrant who attended Babylon’s version of Oxford and grew to be prime minister. Lydia was a profitable businesswoman in textiles. Conceivably the ultimate expression of how much God values work is Jesus who was a carpenter. For more than three-quarters of His life, He occupied Himself in the building profession, creating benches and tables, and was probably engaged in construction. The word ‘carpenter’ is translated from the Greek word tektón, from which we get our word technology, and would contain the capability to do stone or masonry work.

The Bible was penned by workers, about workers, and for workers. Work was God’s idea. ‘The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it’ (Genesis 2:15 NIV). Even the first man, Adam, was put to work. By identifying what you have been called to do in life and giving yourself fully to it, you are as ordained as any pastor who stands in a pulpit. It’s a pity we use the word secular when it comes to any kind of work other than church work because God doesn’t see it that way. All honest work earns His smile of approval. When it comes to work, the thing He requires from you is wrapped up in these words: ‘Whatever you do, do well.’

Let yourself feel His presence

Pursue a fresh awareness of God’s presence in your life. The third thing God did in dealing with Elijah’s depression was to tell him, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.’ (1 Kings 19:11 NIV)

Next, we read: ‘Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he … went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. ’ (1 Kings 19:11–13 NIV)

That day, God put on a spectacular show with the wind, the earthquake, and the fire. But He wasn’t speaking to Elijah through any of these impressive special effects. What got Elijah’s attention was the still, small voice—the gentle whisper. God usually speaks to us in stillness and quietness—not through a dramatic demonstration or fantastic firepower. He basically whispered, ‘Elijah, I’m still right here beside you.’

So, if you’re feeling depressed, take your Bible and go to a quiet place. Sit down, read the Scriptures, and get alone with God. Just let Him love you and speak to you. Let Him meet your needs, and let yourself feel His presence. There is no more effective antidepressant than communication and fellowship with God. That’s what He means when He says to you, ‘Be still, and know that I am God.’ (Psalm 46:10 NIV)

‘Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?’ Amos 3:3 NKJV

If your attraction to your partner is founded only on the way they look, imagine how they might look fifty years from now. Regular exercise and a good diet will only take you so far. Eventually, the ageing process will take its toll. The truth is that looks may bring you together, but only commitment and a shared faith will keep you together! The Bible says, ‘Do not be mismatched with unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness share together, or what does light have in common with darkness? Or what harmony does Christ have with Belial, or what does a believer share with an unbeliever?’ (2 Corinthians 6:14-15 NASB20). That doesn’t mean the two of you must hold identical views on every issue and practise your faith in similar ways. But you need the same values and views regarding the fundamentals of your faith—how you view God, the role of the church, and personal practices. ‘Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?’ (Amos 3:3 NKJV)

Faith is that indescribable strength, that secret weapon of the soul that allows us to persevere even when the facts seem damning and the truth unbearable. It’s what keeps us going when we’re not sure we can continue. It’s the light that leads us out of the darkness, and the map that guides our way. Without faith, we would probably pull over to the side of the road, give up, and watch everyone else pass us by. But when we trust in the Lord and believe that He will guide us, there is almost nothing we cannot withstand and walk through together.

Don't be afraid of failing.

Because we are keenly aware of our limitations, we tend to stay in our comfort zone. And that can lead to a life of unfulfilled dreams. Your efforts don’t rest solely on your shoulders, but on God’s. Yes, you have a part to play. But when you have done your best, you must trust God to do the rest. On the threshold of the promised land, God said to Joshua, ‘As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage …’ (Joshua 1:5-6). Your ability is limited, but God’s ability is unlimited.

You may experience failure on your way to success, but God’s guarantee is, ‘I will not fail you.’ The fear of failure is often based on the false belief that success rests on our own abilities. And because we’re aware of our inadequacies, we stay in our comfort zone instead of tackling the giants in the promised land. This can lead us to a life of frustration wondering what could have been.

When you know that what you want lines up with God’s will, be bold and know that you will eventually succeed. ‘Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him’ (1 John 5:14-15 NKJV). When your confidence is ‘in Him’, your success is assured. When you know that what you want is what God wants, you can move forward in strength.

The winds were contrary when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. They were contrary on their way to the promised land, and they were contrary when they got there. There is no such thing as a storm-free voyage: ‘“It is through many tribulations that we must enter the kingdom of God.”’ (Acts 14:22 NASB20). When you have to fight to stay afloat day after day, it’s easy to get discouraged. Paul said, ‘When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days … all hope that we would be saved was finally given up’ (Acts 27:20 NKJV). Maybe you’re tired and discouraged because of what you’re battling. You’re ready to give up —and, humanly speaking, nobody would blame you.

But before you give up, ask yourself this: what if Godis the One engineering this storm to get you where you need to go? What if He is the One who ‘spoke and raised a stormy wind’ (Psalm 107:25 NASB), so you would have to keep your eyes on Him? What if He is the One who ‘hurled a great wind on the sea’ (Jonah 1:4 NASB), to see if you would keep the faith when you can’t see the far shore? A psalmist tells us God uses ‘Fire and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling His Word.’ (Psalm 148:8 NASB20) In Exodus 10, ‘… and the Lord directed an east wind on the land all that day and all that night; and … it … brought the locusts … So the Lord shifted the wind to a very strong west wind, which picked up the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea …’ (Exodus 10:13, 19 NASB20).

One author adds, ‘When the Lord fought for Israel … stormy winds brought about their deliverance … And one day, by God’s great mercy, we too shall stand upon the sea of glass and see how stormy winds brought about our deliverance.’

‘He chose us.’ Ephesians 1:4 NKJV

When it comes to God’s will for your life, He decides it and you discover it. It’s not something you can change, a topic for debate, or a plan you get to have a say in. The truth is, you can miss God’s will and be miserable, or do things His way and experience ‘glorious, inexpressible joy’ (1 Peter 1:8 NLT). The choice is yours. ‘But I don’t know God’s will for my life,’ you say. Then pray this prayer: ‘Father, I’m tired of going through life with no real purpose because it brings no glory to You. You created every living thing, including me, that they may bring You pleasure (see Revelation 4:11). I know that You have a specific job for me to do. Your Word says You formed me in the womb to be Your servant (see Isaiah 49:5).

I’m getting lots of input from other people, but I need to know the path You have chosen for me. Help me to stop ignoring and minimising the gifts and talents You have invested in me; acting like they’re of no significance. I know we are all called to serve, and I need Your help to discern who, where, when, and how I should serve. I want to do what You have destined me to do and not be side-tracked by wrong priorities, busywork, or other people’s desires and demands. At the end of my life, I want to be able to look back and say like Jesus, ‘“I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.”’ (John 17:4 ESV). In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.’
