You will keep in perfect peace [those] whose mind is stayed on You because [they] trust. Isaiah 26:3
4 years ago today (2018) I rushed David to the local ER with a fever and acute pain in his side. Tests revealed a mysterious sepsis brewing in his lung. As with past life-threatening visits, he caused quite a stir before a treatment was discovered.
Each crisis like this in our 34 years – never seems to grow dull. In every instance I’ve had to stop and purposely still my soul, then rest my mind in God’s Word and wait on Him. It hasn’t gotten easier, but I have become faster at getting started.
In that particular illness, antibiotics were successful to slowly, slowly kill the unknown bacteria. Yet our trust did not rest in the medicine or even in the doctors. As thankful as we were for both – we knew God was the only source of lasting peace.
My job is to keep my mind “stayed”on Him.
His promise is to keep me in “perfect peace.”
Today we feel carefree and full of health. But knowing life is fragile, reminds us to remain steadfast in trusting Him; remembering we have already been so blessed. God is the only One who remains the same yesterday, today and forever! Praise Him
ForGlorySake! -Anna
