“When your feelings are overwhelming, you can count on the Word of God.”

²²And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship. ²³For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, ²⁴Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. ²⁵Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

Acts 27:22-25

¹Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. ⁷He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.  ⁸His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

Psalm 112:1, 7-8

¹⁰ Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.

Isaiah 41:10 (Amplified Bible)

¹⁶ In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one!^[a] 17–18 Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword^[b] of the spoken word of God.

Ephesians 6:16-18 (Passion Translation)

The Word of God is a sure foundation for your life. Build your life on this foundation you will become a tower of strength and stability. Life can be overwhelming. When you are under attack it easy to let your feelings get the best of you. Racing thoughts of fear or doom can overtake your faith if you let them. You must resist the devil and the thoughts he would like to plant in your mind. You do that by speaking the Word of God. If you resist, he will flee.

Psalms 115:12-15

In Charles Spurgeon’s many years at his London church during the 1800s, he loved to preach on the riches of Isaiah 49:16, which says that God engraves us on the palms of His hands. He said, “Such a text as this is to be preached hundreds of times!”

If and when we’re tempted to think that God has forgotten us, we only need to look at our palms and remember God’s promise. He has put indelible marks on His hands for us; He loves us that much. He said He would provide and He will!
