Ignore the Roar

Psalm 85:8

I will listen to what God will say; surely the LORD will declare peace to His people, His godly ones, and not let them go back to foolish ways.

People turn to foolish ways when trouble and fear abound. Nothing upsets wisdom like disturbed emotions running wild. During times of turmoil, we must follow the example of the psalmist here and listen to what God has to say. When we turn to Him, He will declare peace to us through His guidance and direct us away from foolish ways that would harm us.

The Devil roams around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, and his roar is frightful. If he can scare us into his path and out of God’s will, we become his prey. If we seek the word of the Lord, however, during scary times, He will prevent us from entering the enemy’s trap, and all the Devil can do is roar. He cannot touch us if we allow his roar to drive us into the Father’s arms instead of his false path of protection, where he has set a trap.

Listen carefully to what God would say to you today. He will declare peace to you with His words, and He will not allow you to turn back to foolish ways that allowed the Devil to gain victory in your life. All the Devil can do is roar if you are firmly planted in the word of God, and you will not be shaken by his threats. God looks upon you with favor, and His plan for you is good. Learn to ignore the roar by running straight into the Father’s arms. Jesus gave us His peace, and we should cling to it at all times.

Have a blessed day!
