Isaiah 26:3-4
“You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.”
There is an old saying; “He gave me a piece of his mind that he couldn’t afford to lose!” There is a huge difference between “Piece” and “Peace.” Unfortunately far too many Christians are contented with only a “piece” of God’s “peace.”
Just a “piece” of “peace” is certainly not enough. We need the peace that passes all human understanding. A deep and abiding peace that stands firm and strong regardless of the storms of life that we may encounter.
I think most, if not all of us have experienced the storms of nature. It may be when we were on a boat, in a violent thunderstorm, a frightening earthquake, or some other frightening event. After the chaos has subsided, we rejoice in the quiet peace that enfolds us.
Today’s Scripture is God’s promise for each true believer. God promises perfect peace to the believer who steadfastly trusts in Him. That means trusting God in the storms and in the calms. Do you want peace of mind? Remember Jesus is the One who calmed the storm and He can calm yours.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
