3 You will keep in perfect peace
him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you.
4 Trust in the LORD forever,
for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.—The words of the Prophet Isaiah from Isaiah 26:3-4
As a small boy, I would often hear my mother hum a very winsome tune as she worked around our home. The melodic line of this song had an ethereal quality that always made me have a sense of well-being. One day I asked her what that tune was. She told me that the tune came from a song based on the Scripture text at the beginning of this blog post.
The original version of this song used the language style of the King James Version of the Bible:
whose mind is stayed on Thee.
When the shadows come and darkness falls,
He giveth inward peace.
O, He is the only perfect resting place,
He giveth perfect peace.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on Thee.
Today, if your heart is heavy with a weight of care, I urge you to turn to God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will lift the burden of your care and give you His inward peace. If you look for the evidence of His loving care in your life, you will surely find it.
Will you pray with me?
Thank You, God for loving us. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to be our Savior. Thank You for giving us Your Holy Spirit to supply the inward peace that we need to face the trials of each day. Help us to keep our minds and hearts focused on You. Allow us to draw our inmost strength from the relationship we have with You. Please reveal Yourself to us today. We pray in the Matchless Name of Jesus. Amen.
