Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
When I read today’s verse in Isaiah, I got stuck on the word steadfast. To be honest, my stomach dropped and I became nervous. I can think of so many times I don’t feel so steadfast in my mind. My life overwhelms me. My anxiety and panic set in or my depression just plain takes over. I don’t feel so steadfast. I certainly don’t feel at peace. BUT I still trust in God.
Being steadfast is tied to the trust in God, not the trust in your own mind. Our minds are so capable of making up things that are not there. We perceive things based on our own experiences and emotions. I guess what I am saying is there is nothing steadfast about us.
However, we can put our trust in God. We can continue to have faith that no matter what our mind is trying to tell us God is still in control. When we choose to rely on God and not our own feeble circumstances, we will find the perfect peace. A peace that keeps us steady with peace in any storm.
Lord, I know when my world is full of nothing but chaos if I can just stay steadfast in trusting you, You will find surround me in peace. ~amen
