Whose mind is stayed on
You,
Because he trusts in You.

HIS PEACE
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in You. – Isaiah 26:3
Today's Scripture & Insight:
Isaiah 26:3-7
For several
months, I coped with intense workplace politics and intrigues. Worrying is
second nature to me, so I was surprised to find myself at peace. Instead of
feeling anxious, I was able to respond with a calm mind and heart. I knew that
this peace could come only from God.
In
contrast, there was another period in my life when everything was going well –
and yet I felt a deep unrest in my heart. I knew it was because I was trusting
in my own abilities instead of trusting God and His leading. Looking back, I’ve
realized that true peace – God’s peace – isn’t defined by our circumstances,
but by our trust in Him.
God’s
peace comes to us when our minds are steadfast (Isaiah 26:3 – see verse above). In Hebrew, the word
for steadfast means “to lean upon”.
As we lean on Him, we’ll experience His calming presence. We can trust in God,
remembering that He’ll humble the proud and wicked and smooth the paths of
those who love Him (Isaiah 26:5-7 – see verses
below).
Isaiah 26:5-7
New Life Version (NLV)
5 For He has brought down low those who live on a
high place, the high city. He lays it low. He lays it low to the ground. He
throws it to the dust. 6 It
will be crushed under foot, under the feet of those who have suffered and the
steps of those who cannot help themselves.”
7 The way of the man who is right with God is
smooth. O Upright One, make the path straight of those who are right with You.
When I experienced
peace in a season of difficulty rather than ease, I discovered that God’s peace
isn’t an absence of conflict, but a profound sense of security even in
distress. It’s a peace that surpasses human understanding and guards our hearts
and minds in the midst of the most difficult of circumstances (Philippians
4:6-7 – see verses below).
Philippians 4:6-7
New King James Version
(NKJV)
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the
peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.
