Untouched by Trouble

 Listen to the Audio

Proverbs 19:23 says... The fear of the LORD leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble. 

There are three parts to this verse... the fear of the Lord, contentment, and protection.

First it starts with fearing the Lord, which is awe, reverence, honor, respect, and submitting to him. To fear him is to seek to do what is pleasing to him. This is step one and then we must learn to be content in all circumstances. We must learn to find our contentment in God being with us rather than from external things or circumstances. When this is the case we can rest in our soul because God will never leave us or forsake us. 

Then God can have us untouched by trouble. Jesus said we would have trouble in this world but to be of good cheer because he has overcome the world. Nothing is impossible for him and he always causes us to triumph. The Bible is filled with examples of God protecting his people. Think of the 10 plagues of Egypt. The plagues came on all the land of Egypt, but not on the areas where God's people were. 

I am praying for you.
