You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.Isaiah 26:3 (ESV)
Yes. Peace.
That’s something I need right now.
Every day has its trouble. Nothing truly bad is happening. But there are stresses and pressures and risks and frustrations that assault every day. Some days more than others.
And here’s this promise, written to people who would be unable to comprehend the comparative luxury and security I live in. God promises peace; perfect peace to the one whose mind is stayed on Him. Peace, which is often so elusive, is to be found through setting our minds on the One who is the Prince of peace. It seems too easy.
I don’t understand it.
But then again, I’m not supposed to.
Your meditations are so spot on Bill! The parsing of Col. 3:16 is great. The peace, so sweet the peace, it is so good to not have to try to figure some things out. Thanks, Bill, thanks very, very much.
