You will keep him in perfect peace

You will keep him in perfect peace

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

"Those who know Your name," says the psalmist, "will put their trust in You." True knowledge of God always leads to reliance on Him and confidence in Him. And when the mind is stayed upon God—what can shake or disturb it?

If we know God as He has revealed Himself in Christ—then no view of our past sins and transgressions will alarm us; for we know that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.

If our minds are stayed on God—then the thought of the great tribunal will not agitate us; for the Judge is our Savior, our Father, and our Friend!

If our minds are stayed on the Lord—then no knowledge of the number and malignity of our spiritual foes will disturb our peace; for we know that greater is He who is for us, than all who are against us

If our minds are stayed on the Lord—then no trying dispensations of Providence will greatly trouble us; for we know that all things work together for our good.

My soul, seek a growing acquaintance with the God of your salvation. Seek to know more of Him in whom you are trusting—then will you feel persuaded that He is able to keep that which you have committed to Him.

And, amidst all the trials of life, and all the storms of adversity , you will have a quiet mind—a pledge of the perfect and eternal peace you will enjoy in your heavenly home.

Back to Every Day!
