Proverbs 3:26 for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.

In these terrible Covid times we do worry about things we have no control over – because they are frightening, and we cannot see them – just the consequences!

Even though we see the terrible things which overcome the people who do not take proper precautions, we also see the amazing things which happen to those who do take care.

God wants to continue protecting us, but we should not take Him to task by setting aside common sense!

Proverbs 3:24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

I know times are tough for so many people and I know many people are not sleeping well because of the stress and worry in their lives.

God wants us to share our stress and worries with Him so He can try and lift those burdens from our shoulders – which means we have to start to talk to Him!

God knows our troubles and our worries, but also knows if we are willing to open those up to Him, we will find peace...

We can know this too by trusting in Him with everything.

2 Timothy 2:23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.

We all know how stupid words or arguments will produce even bigger arguments, distrust and distress with all involved – but we all continue to say stupid things!

If we had a little person sitting on our shoulders whispering into our ears when we are about to do or say stupid things, we would get into a lot less trouble...

If we are willing to allow God to guide us, we have that person on our shoulders every minute of every day – just listen!
