THE OX, THE MANGER, AND YOUR HARVEST

“Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.” — Proverbs 14:4

This proverb speaks directly to your life. It reminds you that every fruitful season usually comes with responsibility, pressure, sacrifice, and sometimes inconvenience. A farmer without oxen may enjoy a clean and quiet stable, but he will also have no plowing, no strength for labor, and no harvest. In the same way, a life devoted only to comfort may avoid stress, but it may also miss growth, purpose, and increase.

You may sometimes wonder why the things God has entrusted to you come with challenges — family responsibilities, ministry burdens, difficult people, financial pressures, leadership demands, or seasons of waiting and hard work. Yet many of these “burdens” are actually the instruments God is using to produce your harvest. Scripture says, “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy” (Psalm 126:5).

Consider the experience of the Apostle Paul. His life was filled with trials, persecution, imprisonments, and sacrifice. To many, it may have appeared exhausting and difficult. Yet through those very struggles, God brought abundant spiritual increase. Churches were planted, lives were transformed, and the Gospel spread across nations. Paul understood that fruitfulness often comes through endurance, saying, “I have laboured more abundantly” (1 Corinthians 15:10).

Your own life may feel “messy” at times. The demands of your calling, work, home, or spiritual journey may seem overwhelming. But do not mistake inconvenience for failure. Sometimes the very things stretching you are the things God is using to strengthen you. A growing family may bring noise and stress, but also love and legacy. Ministry may bring criticism and weariness, but also eternal impact. Responsibility may bring pressure, but it also develops character and maturity.

Many people seek a “clean manger” life — safe, comfortable, controlled, and free from sacrifice. But God often works through the uncomfortable places to bring increase. Even Jesus endured the suffering of the cross before the glory of the resurrection. “Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross” (Hebrews 12:2).

Therefore, do not grow weary in your labor, your service, or your season of responsibility. The ox may make the manger untidy, but it also makes the harvest possible. The very burden you carry today may become tomorrow’s testimony of God’s faithfulness.

“Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” — Galatians 6:9

Stop Creating Unnecessary Jordan

There is a striking difference between Israel’s two great crossings: the Red Sea and the Jordan River.

The Red Sea crossing was necessary for deliverance. The Jordan crossing became necessary because of disobedience.

At the Red Sea, Israel was trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the sea. They had no strategy, no strength, and no escape route. God intervened supernaturally because redemption from Egypt required divine deliverance. (Exodus 14:13).

That moment reminds us that there are seasons in life where only God can rescue us. We all face “Red Sea moments” — situations beyond our control: a sudden loss, a health crisis, betrayal, financial hardship, or battles we never chose. In those moments, God fights for us when we are powerless to fight for ourselves.

But the Jordan tells a different story.

God never intended Israel to wander forty years in the wilderness. Deuteronomy 1:2 reveals that the journey from Horeb to Kadesh Barnea—the gateway to Canaan—was only eleven days. Israel could have entered Canaan directly from the south. The Jordan crossing would never have been necessary.

But at Kadesh Barnea, unbelief changed everything.

Though God promised victory, Israel focused on the giants instead of the promise. Fear distorted their vision. They complained, resisted change, and refused to move forward. (Numbers 14:4).

And how often does that happen in our own lives?

Sometimes we pray for open doors, yet resist walking through them because of fear. We ask God for growth, but avoid the discomfort that growth requires. We delay obedience because the future feels uncertain. We remain in unhealthy patterns, toxic environments, or spiritual stagnation simply because familiarity feels safer than faith.

Like Israel, we can become so intimidated by the “giants” ahead that we romanticize the bo***ge behind us.

The Jordan therefore became an avoidable crisis caused by fear and disobedience. By the time Israel crossed under Joshua, an entire generation had died in the wilderness because they refused to trust God.

The lesson is clear: unbelief complicates destiny.

Not every hardship in life is self-created. Some battles truly are Red Seas—unavoidable trials where we simply need God’s intervention.

But some “Jordans” are different. They are the painful consequences of delayed obedience, compromise, fear, procrastination, pride, or resisting God’s direction.

How many relationships could be healed if pride died earlier? How many dreams could flourish if fear stopped delaying action? How many years are lost because people keep postponing what God already told them to do?

A journey that should have taken days became forty years because Israel would not trust God.
The tragedy was never God’s unwillingness to bless them. The tragedy was their unwillingness to believe Him.

The Red Sea reveals God’s power to deliver.
The Jordan reveals the painful cost of unbelief.

Some delays are part of God’s process.
But others are the result of refusing to take the step He already asked us to take.

May we have the courage to trust God quickly, obey Him fully, and move when He says move — so we do not create unnecessary “Jordans” in our lives.

The Power Behind the Scene

Beloved, one truth you must remember in every season of life is this: God never designed your life for permanent defeat. There may be seasons when you feel delayed, discouraged, or surrounded by resistance. Doors may seem closed, prayers may appear unanswered, and progress may feel slow. Yet even in those difficult moments, God is still working behind the scenes, preparing a way where none seems to exist.

The Bible says in the Book of Isaiah 43:19:

“Behold, I will do a new thing…”

God delights in lifting His children and giving them victory over challenges. Every victory in your life reveals God’s faithfulness, and every battle you overcome becomes a testimony that God is still able to save, restore, and deliver. Even when circumstances seem uncertain, His plans for you remain full of hope and purpose.

Many people, in the depths of despair and life’s battles, often ask why the enemy fights so hard against their breakthrough. The answer is simple: breakthrough changes everything. The enemy fears your testimony as a child of God and the impact your victory will have on others. He knows that when God brings you through, your life will become evidence of God’s power and grace.

In the spiritual realm, opposition is often a sign that something valuable lies ahead. At such times, God is calling you to remain steadfast in faith during the battle for your breakthrough. He wants you to keep believing even when you cannot yet see the answer. He does not want fear, disappointment, or delay to keep you trapped in discouragement. Instead, He wants you to continue moving forward in faith, trusting that He is guiding every step.

That is why God told Joshua in the Book of Joshua 1:9:

“Be strong and courageous…”

Courage does not mean the absence of fear; it means refusing to let fear stop your obedience. God desires for you to draw strength from His unfailing promise of deliverance and to stand firm in the confidence that He will never abandon you.

One of the greatest promises in Scripture is found in the Book of Micah 2:13:

“The one who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the Lord at their head.”

What a powerful assurance this is for every believer. Before you arrive at the obstacle, God is already there. Before you face the closed door, God has already begun making a way. You are not walking into your future alone, and because of that, there is no reason to lose heart. Your battle is not greater than God’s power, your delay is not greater than God’s timing, and your opposition is not greater than God’s purpose for your life.

The same God who brought you through previous seasons will bring you through this one as well. In the end, your story will become a testimony of His faithfulness, and you will boldly declare:

“God truly gave me victory.”

The Weight Before the Glory

“And give Him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.” (Isaiah 62:7)

Beloved, there are seasons in life when it feels like everything tightens at once. The pressure builds, the obstacles multiply, and the strength you once had seems to drain faster than you can recover it. Some of you have come into this moment carrying silent battles—financial strain, family burdens, unanswered prayers, and private struggles that no one else sees. And if you are honest, it may feel like you are at your limit.

But hear this clearly: when the pressure peaks, your breakthrough may be closer than you think.

There is a pattern we see throughout the Christian journey—one that God has written again and again in Scripture and in the lives of His people. Just before something shifts, just before God opens a door, opposition often intensifies. What feels like resistance is not always a sign that you are failing. Sometimes, it is evidence that something significant is about to happen.

The Word reminds us in Ephesians 6:12 that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood.” That means what you are facing is not always just about what you can see. There are spiritual dynamics at work, and the pressure you feel may be connected to the purpose God is about to reveal.

Think about Job. He endured deep loss, confusion, and pain—but his story did not end there. Restoration came. Joseph was thrown into a pit, sold, imprisoned, and forgotten—but those dark moments positioned him for leadership and impact. Even our Lord Jesus faced intense temptation before stepping fully into His ministry. These were not random hardships—they were divine setups.

And for many of you, what you are experiencing right now is not meaningless. It is preparation.

Scripture tells us in James 1:3 that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And Job declared, “when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.” Gold is not refined without fire. Strength is not built without resistance. And faith is not proven without trials.

Look at the story of Israel. Just as their deliverance from Egypt drew near, their suffering increased. The burden grew heavier, not lighter. At the Red Sea, they found themselves trapped—no way forward, no way back. But it was there, at the point of greatest pressure, that God made a way where there was none. “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Some of you are standing at your own Red Sea moment. It feels like you are surrounded. It feels like time is running out. It feels like there is no solution. But God specializes in showing up right at the edge—when human strength is gone and divine power can be revealed.

Even when Israel reached the edge of the Promised Land, fear tried to stop them. And that is how pressure often works—it doesn’t just challenge your situation; it challenges your belief. It whispers that you won’t make it, that you should turn back, that this is too much for you.

But today, I urge you—do not give up.

Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.” There is a due season with your name on it. There is a breakthrough appointed for your life. And what feels like your hardest moment may actually be the doorway to God’s next move.

So stand firm. Hold on. Keep praying, keep trusting, keep walking.

Because when the pressure peaks, heaven is often already preparing your breakthrough.

God—Our Unfailing Companion and Sure Reward

Beloved, life confronts us with countless challenges—needs for provision, protection, direction, and strength. In the midst of these realities, we must settle one truth in our hearts: the most reliable companion we have is God and His Word. Not men. Not human systems. Not philosophies that sound persuasive but lack the power to transform.

The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 118:8: “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.”

Human wisdom can be appealing. It can sound logical, modern, and even comforting. Yet, without God, it lacks the spiritual authority to break chains and dismantle strongholds. The Word of God declares in 2 Corinthians 10:4: “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.”

This is the difference: God’s Word carries power. It does not merely inform—it transforms. It does not merely advise—it delivers. So wherever you find yourself today—whether facing lack, uncertainty, fear, or opposition—the instruction is simple: seek God.

Jesus Himself assures us in Matthew 6:33: “But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Notice the order—God first. Not as a last resort, but as the first response.

Now, someone may say, “I have been seeking, but there is delay.” The Word of God speaks directly to you: do not give up. Galatians 6:9 encourages us:” And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Delay is not denial. Sometimes, God uses seasons of waiting to strengthen our faith, refine our character, and deepen our dependence on Him. In those moments, don’t withdraw—press in harder. Pray more. Trust deeper. Hold onto His Word more firmly.

The persistence of faith is powerful. As Jesus teaches in Luke 18:1: “Men ought always to pray, and not to faint.”

Finally, understand this: your true reward is not in the hands of men—it is with God. People may overlook you. They may fail to appreciate your efforts. They may even disappoint you. But God never forgets. Hebrews assures us in Hebrews 6:10: “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love…”

And Jesus declares in Revelation 22:12:”And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”This is why it always pays to choose God over men. Men can change. Systems can fail. But God remains faithful.

So choose Him daily. Trust Him fully. Seek Him persistently. And rest in the assurance that with God, your labor is never in vain.

More Than Manna: The Bread That Truly Satisfies!

“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35).

The sun had barely risen over the wilderness when the people of Israel stepped out of their tents, weary from hunger and uncertainty. The desert stretched endlessly before them—dry, unforgiving, and silent. Their journey from Egypt had brought them freedom, but also fear. There was no food, no farms, no visible means of survival.

Then, something extraordinary happened.

As the morning dew lifted, the ground was covered with a fine, flaky substance—mysterious and unfamiliar. “What is it?” they asked one another. And so it was called manna. This was God’s answer to their need. Day after day, He provided bread from heaven, enough for every family, enough for every hunger. Not once did it fail.

Imagine their awe. Every sunrise became a reminder: God sees us. God knows our need. God provides.

Yet, as miraculous as manna was, it pointed to something greater.

Centuries later, another crowd gathered—this time around Jesus. They, too, were thinking about bread. They remembered the story of manna and said, “Our ancestors ate manna in the wilderness.” It was as if they were asking, Can you do what Moses did?

But Jesus shifted their focus from the temporary to the eternal.

In John 6:35, He declared:
“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

This was not just a miracle—it was a revelation.

The manna in the wilderness satisfied physical hunger for a day. But Jesus, the true Bread from heaven, satisfies the deepest hunger of the soul—forever.

Think about it: the Israelites had to gather manna daily. If they tried to store it, it spoiled. It was temporary, limited to earthly needs. But Christ offers something far greater—eternal life, peace, purpose, and a relationship with God that never fades.

The miracle of manna was astonishing, but it was only a shadow. The reality is Christ.

That is the difference between manna and Christ. One sustains life temporarily; the other transforms it eternally. Shift Focus from Temporary to Eternal. The world offers “bread that perishes,” but Christ offers life that endures forever.

Conclusion

If Israel marveled at manna in the wilderness, how much more should we stand in awe of Christ—the Bread of Life? God’s provision in the desert was miraculous, but His provision in Christ is eternal.

Jesus will always meet the needs of all who come to Him for spiritual sustenance. He is not just enough—He is more than enough.

From Marah to Elim: Entering God’s Rest.

The journey of Israel from Egypt to Canaan in Book of Exodus is a powerful picture of our Christian walk—marked by deliverance, trials, and the faithful leading of God.

After the great victory at the Red Sea, Israel lifted their voices in songs of triumph (Exodus 15:1–21). It was a moment of joy, a celebration of God’s mighty hand. But not long after, they came to Marah, where the waters were bitter (Exodus 15:22–24). The same people who had just praised God now murmured against Him.

Here lies a vital lesson: victory does not remove trials, and trials reveal the true condition of our hearts.

Often, our “Marah” experiences—those bitter and difficult seasons—are intensified when faith is weak or obedience is lacking. What should have been a brief journey for Israel became forty years in the wilderness because of unbelief (Numbers 14:33–34). Trials may be part of God’s process, but delay is often the result of our response.

Yet even at Marah, God’s mercy was evident. When Moses cried out, the Lord showed him a tree, and when it was cast into the waters, the bitterness was turned into sweetness (Exodus 15:25).

This points us directly to Jesus Christ. Scripture tells us He was hung on a tree (Acts 5:30). At the cross, He took the bitterness of sin, pain, and sorrow and transformed it into the sweetness of salvation and peace. So whatever your Marah may be, God is able to transform it.

Jesus Himself said in John 16:33 that we will face tribulation. But these trials are not meant to destroy us—they are meant to deepen our faith. It is not suffering that derails our journey, but unbelief and disobedience.

So we must guard our hearts: bitter experiences must not produce bitter hearts. God remains sovereign, and there is no bitterness in life that prayer cannot sweeten.

But Marah is not the end of the story. After Marah, Israel came to Elim, a place of twelve wells and seventy palm trees (Exodus 15:27)—a place of refreshing, provision, and rest. Yet even Elim points beyond itself. In Epistle to the Hebrews, Scripture declares:

“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God” (Hebrews 4:9–10).

This rest is not merely physical—it is spiritual. It is found in Christ: a rest from striving, a rest in God’s finished work, and a rest filled with peace and assurance.

And so the invitation still stands. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28–30: “Come to Me… and I will give you rest. Marah will come but so will Elim. And beyond both lies the true and lasting rest found in Jesus.

So when you arrive at your Marah, the question is not whether you will face bitterness, but how you will respond:Will you murmur, or will you trust Jesus Christ?

Will you enter into His rest today?

Jehovah of All Seasons

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)

From the very beginning of Israel’s journey as a nation, their story was marked by encounters with different nations that rose against them at distinct stages of their history. Each opposition came with its own timing, strategy, and strength, yet all served to reveal one unchanging truth: the constancy and sufficiency of Jehovah, the God of all seasons.

The Egyptians were the first to oppose them, representing bo***ge, oppression, and resistance to divine freedom. Even after releasing Israel, Pharaoh pursued them to the Red Sea in a final attempt to return them to slavery (Exodus 14:5–9). This stage of attack was marked by military force and intimidation. Yet, in the face of what seemed like certain destruction, God demonstrated His sovereignty by parting the sea and overthrowing their enemies, reminding Israel that “the Lord will fight for you” (Exodus 14:13–14).

Soon after their deliverance, the Amalekites attacked in the wilderness (Exodus 17:8–13). They represent persistent and opportunistic attacks, especially in moments of weakness and weariness (Deuteronomy 25:17–18). Victory in this instance did not come merely through physical strength or military skill, but through spiritual dependence, as Moses lifted his hands in intercession. This moment revealed that spiritual posture sustains physical victory, and that success in life’s battles is first secured in the place of dependence on God.

As Israel progressed, the Moabites emerged, not initially through open warfare but through subtle spiritual corruption and seduction (Numbers 25:1–3). They represent compromise and moral infiltration, working not by force but by influence. Their strength lay in deception, drawing Israel into idolatry and disobedience. This encounter shows that some of life’s greatest threats are not external but internal, quietly weakening conviction and drawing the heart away from God.

The Philistines became long-standing adversaries during Israel’s settlement in Canaan. They embodied intimidation, technological advancement, and sustained opposition (1 Samuel 13:19–22). Goliath, their champion, stood as a symbol of psychological warfare—using fear, mockery, and intimidation to paralyze Israel (1 Samuel 17:4–11). Yet, even in such circumstances, God demonstrated that victory does not depend on human ability but on faith, granting triumph through unlikely means.

Later, the Cush*tes came against Judah with overwhelming numbers (2 Chronicles 14:9–12). They represent situations that appear impossible—challenges that exceed human capacity and understanding. Their strength was in their sheer magnitude and force. Yet King Asa cried unto the Lord, acknowledging that it is nothing for God to help, whether with many or with those who have no power (2 Chronicles 14:11). In response, God granted victory, showing that no situation is beyond His reach.

However, a sobering pattern also emerges throughout their history. Whenever Israel trusted in their own strength, wisdom, or alliances, they fell. Their defeats were not rooted in the strength of their enemies but in their distance from God. Scripture makes this principle clear: “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). The inverse is equally true—distance from God leads to vulnerability and defeat.

Thus, the story of Israel is not merely a record of battles fought and won; it is a revelation of a God who remains constant through changing seasons. Enemies may differ in strategy, strength, and timing, but Jehovah remains the same—faithful, present, and powerful. He is the God of waiting seasons, the God of transitions, and the God of stability and growth.

Therefore, the lesson is clear. In every season of life, whether in times of success or in the face of challenges, victory is not found in human strength but in unwavering dependence on Jehovah. In moments of prosperity, one must resist the temptation to become self-sufficient, and in times of difficulty, one must not turn to self-reliance.

For the same God who was faithful yesterday remains faithful today and will continue to be faithful forever—the true Jehovah of all seasons.

Prosperity Without Sorrow: The Sacred Union of Holiness and Blessing.

If you are a child of God, there is a scared truth you must know- that your prosperity is bound together with your holiness in God. They are not two separate paths running side by side—they are one road, one journey, one divine design. The error of many is this: we seek the blessings of God while neglecting the presence of God. We stretch our hands toward provision but withdraw our hearts from communion. And so, we discover, often painfully, that it will not work.

Matthew 6:33 declares: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Notice the order: righteousness before “things,” relationship before rewards. God never designed prosperity to exist outside of our walk with Him. To attempt such is to build a house without a foundation.

Consider the story of Abraham. God did not begin with wealth; He began with a call: “Walk before Me and be thou perfect” (Genesis 17:1). The covenant preceded the cattle, the relationship preceded the riches. Abraham’s prosperity flowed as a consequence of his obedience and intimacy with God.

On the contrary King Saul, in his haste, offered a sacrifice he was not ordained to give, unwilling to wait for the prophet Samuel. His desire for immediate success led him ahead of God, and that moment marked the beginning of his downfall (1 Samuel 13:8–14). How many today, in their impatience for prosperity, run ahead of divine timing, only to meet sorrow at the destination?

Scripture warns us in Proverbs 10:22, “The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” This implies that there is a kind of “riches” that comes with sorrow—riches gained outside the fullness of God’s process.

Beloved, God in His infinite wisdom orchestrates our lives through a symbiotic process. As He increases our prosperity, He deepens our understanding of Him. As He expands our capacity externally, He builds our character internally. This is why the journey often includes challenges, delays, and even setbacks—not as punishments, but as divine classrooms.

Recall the journey of Joseph in Genesis. Before the palace came the pit, before the crown came the cross of betrayal and imprisonment. Yet Scripture testifies, “The Lord was with Joseph” (Genesis 39:2). His prosperity was not defined by his position but by God’s presence. And when the time came, his external elevation matched his internal preparation.

So what then is the path to wealth without sorrow? It is this: to see every circumstance—whether a trial, a delay, or even a breakthrough—as part of God’s training in intimacy. Your challenges are not interruptions; they are invitations. Your delays are not denials; they are developments. Your blessings are not destinations; they are tools.

For divine prosperity is not the goal—it is the instrument. The true goal in God’s heart is relationship. This is the great divide between the prosperity of the world and that of the child of God. The world seeks wealth as an end; God gives wealth as a means—to know Him more, to trust Him deeper, to reflect Him better.

As it is written in Deuteronomy 8:18, “But you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth.” The power is His, the process is His, and the purpose is His.

Therefore let us walk with God, wait on God, and grow in God. And in His perfect time, He will grant us prosperity—rich, full, and without sorrow.

From Fear to Faith — The Battle of Imagination

Beloved, understand this: fear is a feeling, but faith is action.

Fear often comes uninvited. It speaks to your senses—it reacts to what you see, what you hear, and what you feel. But faith is different. Faith rises when you choose to act on what God has said, even when everything around you says otherwise.

The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:7:

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

Fear walks by sight. But faith walks by revelation.

Both fear and faith require imagination. Fear paints pictures of failure, loss, and defeat. It whispers, “What if everything goes wrong?” And if you dwell on it long enough, it begins to feel real.

But faith also imagines—only differently. Faith sees what God has promised before it ever appears. Faith declares, “What if God’s Word is true, no matter what I see?”

That is why the Scripture says in Hebrews 11:1:

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Fear feeds on the visible. It grows stronger the more you focus on your circumstances. Like Peter walking on water in Matthew 14:30—when he saw the wind, he became afraid and began to sink. Why? Because his attention shifted from the Word to the waves.

But faith draws strength from the invisible—from the mind of God revealed through His Word.

The Bible says in Romans 10:17:

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Faith is not blind: it is built. It is formed as you meditate on what God has said until His reality becomes greater than your circumstances.

Fear says, “Look at the storm.” Faith says, “Look at your God.”

Fear imagines defeat. Faith envisions victory.

And the battlefield is your mind. That is why 2 Corinthians 10:5 says:

“Casting down imaginations and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

You must choose which imagination to entertain.
Because the one you feed will grow.

Consider David standing before Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. Everyone else imagined defeat—they saw the size of the giant. But David imagined the power of God. He declared:

“The Lord who delivered me …will deliver me from this Philistine.” (1 Samuel 17:37)

Fear saw a giant too big to defeat. Faith saw a giant too big to miss.

So today, choose faith—not as a feeling, but as a decision. Act on God’s Word. Speak it. Meditate on it. Envision it. Because while fear is powered by what you see, faith is powered by who God is.

And as the Word declares in Isaiah 26:3:

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” Fix your mind on God. Anchor your imagination in His Word and you will move—from fear into faith.
