| “Trust in the Lord forever…” |
| —Isaiah 26:4a |
In this sinful world, we struggle to find peace. That’s because a great spiritual warfare rages around us. Satan’s desire is to entrap and then destroy every human being on this planet. He works the hardest on those whom God has chosen to belong to Himself.
Satan knows exactly how to press every one of our negative and sinful “buttons.” The evil one has a unique ability to take us down into the pit of despair. This enemy of our souls also has the ability to tempt us to turn from what we know is right and pleasing to God, and instead follow pathways that will harm us in the depth of our beings.
As believers in the life-transforming power of our risen Lord Jesus Christ, we are daily assailed on every side. Yet, true and lasting peace awaits us in the arms of the God who loves us with His everlasting love. God waits lovingly and patiently to enfold us in His protection. He desires for us to seek His care. He wants us to run to Him whenever our enemy tries to attack and destroy us.
Allow joy to well up in your heart as you read these words from the Prophet found in Isaiah 26:3-4:
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.
Let us gratefully receive the Peace of Christ this day. His peace will sustain us on our journey through this life and into the glorious eternal life that awaits us at the feet of our Lord and Savior.
