| “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” |
| —Isaiah 26:3 |
Someone might make the claim that babies don’t know any better. But, most parents of a newborn will insist that their baby knows who they are. A new mom and dad can sense a calmness, a peacefulness, come over their infant when he or she is held in a parent’s arms. The sound of mom’s voice, the feel of dad’s strong arms—all of these distinctives give a baby cues that say, “You are safe. Mom or Dad will protect you.”
So it is with we “Christ’s-ones” who belong to God through His Son, Jesus. We can sense when our Father’s loving arms of protection have wrapped tightly around us. We can experience a peaceful rest whenever we acknowledge that God watches out for those He loves.
The Prophet Isaiah wrote this song of praise to God for the southern kingdom of Judah to sing on a great day of celebration. Among the glorious words that would fill the air were these, found in Isaiah 26:3:
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
As we begin this day, we can cling to the fact that God will keep us in perfect peace when we submit our minds and hearts to Him and remain steadfast in the clutch of His loving arms. Our trust in God paves the pathway of our peace with His unending glory and majesty. Let it be so this day, and every day.
