A LASTING PEACE
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.”
Isaiah 26: 3, 4
King James Version
I was going to write this last night but God told me to wait until today. Now I know why He told me to wait. He knew that I would be able to tell you that it really does work. Two things have happened today that are very disturbing. The first thing happened at four o’clock this morning when I thought I heard someone banging on my trailer. I immediately got up and started praying. Instead of calling the sheriff this time, I turned on all the lights and turned on the radio very loud. Even while I was doing all these things I had peace in my heart because I knew that God would protect me.
The second thing that happened was that I received news that the funding for the public transportation that picks me up has been cut drastically and starting in October, I will no longer have a ride available to me unless and until God moves and the funding comes in. Again, while I am a little concerned about this issue, I still have peace in my heart because I trust God to work out all the details. If we will keep our mind stayed on Jesus, He will keep us in perfect peace.
It does not matter how many problems and difficult situations you are experiencing, if you will put your trust in God and not try to fix them yourself, He will work out all the details. We are powerless to change things but we have a mighty God who can do anything. Do you have this lasting peace in your heart? Have you invited Jesus, the one who is our peace, into your heart? If not, give your heart to Him today and you will have a peace that the world can’t give and the world can’t take away.
