‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV – Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.‬‬

Do you still have what-if scenarios lingering today? As I write to you today from my bird sanctuary I am reminded that if God takes care of the birds, He will take care of me. Thank You, God, for this beautiful God Wink. Proverbs tells us that we should guard our hearts because everything flows from them (Proverbs 4:23). In today’s key verse from David we are reminded that no matter what is going on around us, we have control over our hearts. 

Guarding our hearts isn’t an option but rather a must. Each of us is responsible for his or her own boundaries and what is allowed in and out. Imagine building a guard around your heart and your thoughts. That guard is the barrier that God’s word builds over time of studying and sitting in His word. 

Let’s pray. Dear God, Thank You for Your word that acts as a barrier around my heart and thoughts. I ask that You help guard my heart and thoughts as I go about my day. I pray that I can keep the fear from taking control. No matter what war is raging around me, I know that I can do all things through You who strengthens me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
