Trouble

How can I avoid trouble?

God’s Response

If you keep your mouth shut, you will stay out of trouble. Proverbs 21:23

Blessed are those who have a tender conscience, but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble. Proverbs 28:14

The trustworthy will get a rich reward. But the person who wants to get rich quick will only get into trouble. Proverbs 28:20

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. John 16:33

There are two kinds of trouble—trouble that you cause because of a mistake, a bad decision, or an act of sin, and trouble that invades your life through no fault of your own. The first kind of trouble can usually be avoided through good planning and godly living. The second kind of trouble cannot usually be avoided, but God promises to help us through it and to eliminate it forever one day. You won’t always be able to avoid trouble, but you can keep from looking for it!

God’s Promise

The power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death. Romans 8:2
