Bible Study: Isaiah 26

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.”

-Isaiah 26:3

Do you feel at peace?

Moments of peace may come into our lives, but leave all too quickly. The second something falls out of place, do you lose your peace?

Everyone is searching for peace and trying desperately to find it. But even the most peaceful place, practice or person has a limit. 

The only one without limit is God. When we focus on Him, we are kept and held in peace.  Peace Himself wraps us in His arms.

This is a peace that cannot be compared with the world. It is everlasting and unchanged by circumstances.

I experienced this peace when we lost our son to a miscarriage.

As I sat in the car after leaving the hospital, knowing that my son was in Heaven, I felt peace. It was a broken-hearted, grieving, and surrendered peace. My circumstances looked dim and sorrowful, but even my tender and hurting Mama heart, had peace. Because I knew God was with me and I knew where my son was.

In the toughest of times, we can keep our minds fixed on God. In return, we will find a peace that was always there. And a God we can trust.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your unfailing peace. May it wash over me now. I trust in you and not what I can see. Keep me in your peace.

Amen
