Peace


"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee" Isaiah 26:3. I love this verse. I really love this verse! What a awesome promise... "perfect peace"... especially in our fast paced society where peace seems to be unattainable... yet so many are searching for it. Books, magazine articles, TV talk shows -all document many American's quest for peace in this crazy and hectic world. Yet here it is, the truth about finding peace, hidden away in the book of Isaiah. So simple. So easily missed. "Because he trusteth in thee" -Even in the middle of raising kids, stressful moments, dark times, loneliness, all the heartaches that are suffered in our world today... even in the midst of all this, he still promises perfect peace, if we trust in him... Simple little words. So hard to do. Beautiful promise. Everyone wants to be in control of their own destiny. We fight so hard to "take the wheel" when if we could just let go, sit back and TRUST, perfect peace would be ours. I urge you today to meditate upon this truth, keep your mind stayed on HIM, and experience beautiful, wonderful peace and rest. Happy Monday!
Much love,
Jennifer
