4. Keep Your Heart Focused on God

Life has many challenges that can throw your body systems out of order if you do not keep God in His rightful place. God gives peace to those whose mind is always meditating on His Word and trusting in Him. Make God your strength and watch Him stand to keep your heart calm and at rest. Look at His promise of peace and repose.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. Isaiah 26:3

Challenge your heart to focus on God every day and watch the effect it will have in every area of your life. Listen to Him. Pray, and involve Him in all you do. Nothing will give you quietness of spirit and trust than hearing from God and feeling His strong arms of love and protection around you. It is when His blessed Word sinks deep into your soul and falls on an anticipating heart while speaking directly to the needs of the hour that the heart holds dear to God’s assurance. Such a heart will weather any storm and remain quiet and secure in God the Rock—the tower of protection.

God humbles the proud and brings the arrogant to dust. He takes what is theirs and gives it to the poor. God favors those whose hearts are stayed on Him. He carries them under His wings when their path is rough and treacherous. He smoothens the rough paths and lifts those who love to do His will. Let your heart’s desire be to glorify God’s name. Earnestly seek Him. Peace of heart and favor come from the Lord. Trust in the Lord always.
