'Every child of God

Every child of God may be kept in perfect peace

"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3

In one of the great floods in the West, when the river broadened until it spread over the whole valley, and when trees and fences and crops and buildings were swept away, some men in a boat found among the drift and wreckage, in the middle of the wide stream, borne along in the wild torrent — a baby's cradle floating.

They made their way to it, and there in the cradle, warmly wrapped up in its blankets, lay the baby, sleeping as sweetly as ever it had slept on the mother's bosom.

Just so in all this world's wild turbulence, amid its enmities, its temptations, its trials and sorrows, its wants and dangers, its strifes and conflicts — every child of God may be kept in perfect peace . Wherever he is, whatever his circumstances, he is really lying on the bosom of Jesus.

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts!" And be thankful. Colossians 3:15
