I pray that you start every day with God. I chose to read daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “His Peace“ Karen Huang wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Isaiah 26:3–7. The key verse is, “you will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Isaiah 26:3. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ; before I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries to inspire comments and witnessing.
Background:
The prophet Isaiah anticipates a day marked by swift divine judgment against those who ignore and defy God’s commands. A key target of God’s displeasure is the self-serving pride of human beings and their governments.
Reflect:
What do you do to experience peace? In what areas of your life do you need to trust God and lean on Him?
My Comments to You:
God’s peace comes to me when my mind is steadfast (Isaiah 26:3). This means I lean upon God and his word. As I lean on Him, I experience His calming presence. I can trust in God, remembering that He’ll humble the proud and wicked and smooth the paths of those who love Him (vv. 5–7).
When we experienced peace in a season of difficulty rather than ease, We will discover that God’s peace isn’t an absence of conflict, but a profound sense of security even in distress. It’s a peace that surpasses human understanding and guards our hearts and minds in the midst of the most difficult of circumstances (Philippians 4:6−7).
My Prayer for Us:
Father, help us to trust You and have a steadfast mind. Thank You for the perfect peace that comes to us when we choose to trust You.
