“…no grave trouble will overtake the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil…” Proverbs 12:21 (NKJV)

Have you ever been in a situation that seemed so difficult you thought you could never come out? Or that moment when the devil whispers to you that its all over? Maybe you’re going through some stuff right now and it feels like you’re drowning. Well, I have news for you: No situation can drown you. For it is written “…no grave trouble will overtake the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil…” Proverbs 12:21 (NKJV). Did you see that? So who is the righteous? It is the man who has received Jesus into his life.  Meaning, if you are in Christ, you are the righteous. And so, no grave trouble will overtake you because you are in Christ and there is an anointing on you that overcomes such situations. Your responsibility is to believe this truth and make a conscious decision to appropriate it in your life. 

Refuse to pay attention to the lies of the devil. He certainly wants you to believe that you are sinking, but no matter what you go through, always remember what God has said in His word, “…when you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you were precious in my sight, you have been honored and I have loved you…” Isaiah 43:2-4 (NKJV). Now, these were His words to Israel, but they also apply to you because you are His beloved. In their case God gave Egypt for their ransom, but in your own case God gave Jesus for your ransom. If God could give His son just for you, you must understand that there is nothing He cannot do for you, only believe and walk in the consciousness of this truth in your time of distress. Therefore, square up, chin up, keep your head high and walk in boldness knowing that God has your back. Hallelujah!
