You Keep Him in Perfect Peace
God, through Isaiah, gives us instructions on how to keep our peace during adversity and ways to avoid chastisement when He is set against those who don’t trust in Him.
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:2-3
It’s as simple as keeping our minds set upon God. I say it’s simple, but sometimes it’s not. I will sometimes start strong in prayer, and as I go, my mind wanders off, and I begin to think of my daily tasks. I will catch myself and redirect, but I’ll admit that it’s not always easy. I’m thankful for God’s grace.
Think of this verse when you are battling the enemy, and things get hard:
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. Isaiah 26:20
There is so much more to Isaiah 26, but the main idea is to trust in the LORD and go to Him when trouble abounds; in Him is where you will find perfect peace.
