“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Isaiah 26:3
December 16, 2024
What hope does Israel have for her future? At the end of the coming Tribulation the redeemed remnant of Israel can count on a secure Millennial Jerusalem (Isa. 26:1-6). Peace is promised by God. The possibility of peace of mind is included for any of God’s children because of who He is. What is this peace? It is that inner harmony of soul that comes from a firm hold on God. True peace does not come through chemicals, emotional detachment from problems, walking away from a conflict, ignoring evil, toleration of sin, or any moral retreat into our imagination. God will guard our minds as we are filled with the Word of God. No matter how horrendous our circumstances we do not need to fall apart and be eaten up by anxiety. Rock solid confidence in God is the peace that surpasses all understanding. Do you have it?

O Father of all mercies and grace, I praise you for your loving control over all my circumstances. Your peace is a wonderful gift, and I thank you for it.
