A Promise of Peace

Isaiah 26:3 says "You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You."

What a cool promise we have from God during difficult times...

I don't know about you, but I have times in my life where I feel so overwhelmed with stuff. I know I'm a strange one, but I feel like you know what I'm talking about. Maybe your having some tough times with your family, friends or God. It seems like everyone is against you and nothing is going right.

In times like that it is so important to hold onto this promise. Here is what this verse is saying in the AJDV translation (Andrew John Deane Version):

"life crazy? is your mind all over the place worrying about stuff? I (God) will give you a flawless peace that will amaze you if you simply spend some time with me. Hang out with me. Get to know Me by reading the Bible, talking with Me in prayer, or worshipping Me. Do those things and I'll take away the worry. I'll take away the pain. And I'll give you a joy and a peace that surpasses your understanding. Your situation may not change - but your attitude and your outlook will. I will give you a hope and a strength to get you through this trial."

What does that verse say in your language? Why not leave a comment for all of us to read about what this verse means to you.

I'll end with asking you to do this - read Psalm 119:92. It reminds me of how much more I need to be reading my Bible when I'm having a bad day, week, life

God Bless,
Andy

P.S. - Call me if you're having a bad day so I can pray for you.
