WATCH YOUR HEART

Many are the ways of the Lord but He is the same yesterday, today and forever. His ways are powerful because He knows what is needed. He does not play the guessing game. He moves in ways unknown to man. What appears a disaster turns out to be a victory. See what happened at Calvary. He turned the cross into a crown. The cross was a hated and dreaded sign in the Roman era. Yet many wear the cross as an ornament of beauty. God works to redeem while man works to amass. Man’s riches is in amassing wealth which is gone tomorrow. The financial turbulence is to shake the world of its security in wealth and direct their attention to the eternal. None of these things will suffice on the day of reckoning. When your heart fails then only God can restore you. Things can provide a false sense of security but cannot suffice when the day of trouble descends upon you. Your strength comes from a heart filled with joy and hope. Nothing else will suffice on that day. Therefore hope in God and all these things will be added to you. Acknowledge Him as Lord and He will turn your sorrows into joy. Keep your heart safe from the evil of this world. Never surrender your soul to what is temporary and sinful.
