You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Isaiah 26:3
Question
What would your day look like if your peace was not determined by circumstances, but by trusting in God?
Context
Isaiah wrote these words during a time of uncertainty and turmoil for Israel. The nation faced enemies on every side and many were tempted to put their trust in political alliances rather than in God. Yet Isaiah reminds the people that peace doesn’t come from safety, strength, or strategy, it comes from steadfast trust in the Lord. True peace is not the absence of problems, but the presence of God in the midst of them.
Application
Our minds often race with worry, fear and what-ifs. But peace is a promise we can experience when we intentionally fix our thoughts on God’s faithfulness. When you start to feel anxious, pause and remind yourself: God is still in control.
Trust is not a feeling; it’s a decision to rest your heart in God’s hands even when you don’t see the outcome.
Truth for the Day
Perfect peace is found in a steadfast mind and a trusting heart.
Pray
Lord, thank You for being my source of peace in a restless world. Teach me to keep my mind fixed on You and not on my worries. Help me to trust You with what I cannot control, and let Your peace guard my heart and mind today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
