perfect peace

Tonight I have been completely inspired by a single line on my 20-year-old cousin's blog....a young woman WISE beyond her years....much wiser than I was at 20 and still am at 28!!

"You will keep in PERFECT PEACE him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3.

Oh that I would trust in Him......that my mind would be steadfast on Him so much so that He would keep me in His perfect peace. As my life has been so full of ups and downs these last few months......waiting on God's perfect timing, and as these last few days have come to a culminating mountain of anxiety, this verse has come to my rescue!! For His peace is truly perfect.

The Hebrew phrase for "perfect peace" in this verse literally translates "peace, peace." My prayer tonight (and always) is that my mind will be steady on Him so that I too, might receive a double dose of His peace.

(Thanks Alyse!!)
