God will not overwhelm you!

Trouble comes to everyone from time to time. However, Isaiah 43:2 declares “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you”. God is with you and will not allow calamity to overwhelm you. Proverbs 19:23 declares “Fear of the Lord leads to life, bringing security and protection from harm”. When you give your life and future to the Lord, He will send His angels to guard and protect you. Even in the midst of trouble, you can be at peace, knowing that He is with you.

Proverbs 12:21 (TPT) – Calamity is not allowed to overwhelm the righteous, but there’s nothing but trouble waiting for the wicked.

God knows what is in your heart!

Proverbs 12:20 – Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy.

When the scriptures speak of the heart, it is speaking of the center of your emotions, intentions and values. You are to “Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23). Jeremiah 17:9 says “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” We have to daily fill our hearts and minds with that which is righteous, good, just, holy, loving and peaceful. If we don’t, then we give opportunity for the devil to fill our hearts with all kinds of deceit. Many of the thoughts we think actually do not come from our our own reasoning. Many come from outside forces. As you fill your hearts with God’s word and love, it will push out all of the thoughts that would try to deceive you. Never forget, “as a man thinks, so is he”(Proverbs 23:7).
