Today’s Readings: Isaiah 26-29, Psalm 65, 1 Corinthians 4
Jennifer and I are sitting outside enjoying the nice weather we have been having recently. As we discuss schedules for the week, things going on at work, how our parenting skills are paying off, and medical issues we are facing, I can start feeling a little overwhelmed. My brain can start racing as to what I need to do or what I need to do to conquer it all. Pause – It’s not going to be me.
You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.Isaiah 26:3-4
Isaiah provided me with the reminder that I needed. Even though I will try to stay diligent in my words and actions, I must turn my heart and mind to our Lord. I need to pray for more steadfastness in the Lord when I feel I need to have all the answers.
18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise.
1 Corinthians 3:18
He is our Rock, the one who provides peace in the moments when the world wants to direct our steps and mind space. Do you need perfect peace? I know I would love this. The only place I feel this is when I’m genuinely trusting His perfect plans, which are not found in our planner or in earthly circumstances.
