“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.” (Isaiah 26:3-4) Perfect peace. Doesn’t that sound nice? Perfect peace. Does that describe your life right now? Perfect calm. No stress. No anxiety. No regrets. Perfect peace. Is that you? I have to admit, I often don’t have perfect peace. Instead, my mind jumps from one thought to another, from one worry to another. My heart races as I think about all that needs to get done or all that isn’t getting done or all that I’ve done wrong. I have to admit, I often don’t have perfect peace! Here’s why: Too often I’m not trusting in God. If my peace depends on whether that person will forgive me for what I did, or whether my plans are going to work out, I’m never going to have perfect peace. Instead, God’s Word encourages us to “trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD is the Rock eternal.” Jesus has already forgiven you – for everything! God’s plans for you are going to work out – that’s his promise! God isn’t ever going to change – he is the Rock eternal! When you take your eyes off of you and your life and place them on God, your Savior and your Rock, do you know what the result is? Peace. Perfect peace! “You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.”
