whose
mind is stayed on thee.
Isaiah 26:3 KJV
I smiled as I watched our infant

Modern living challenges followers of
Christ to live in peace in the midst of our chaotic world. It is possible. God’s
grace is sufficient for peaceful living. The older I grow the more I realize
that a daily focus on Jesus Christ is my pathway to perfect peace.
When the trials and stresses of life in an
ever-increasing anti-Christian world press heavy on my heart, I must focus on
Christ. When news reports of what is happening to fellow Christians around the
world cause my heart to tremble in fear for the things our grandchildren may
endure, I must focus on Christ. When I am faced with a loved one who refuses to
believe that Jesus is the Only Way to the Heavenly Father, I must focus on Christ.
The pathway to perfect peace remains the
same as when Isaiah recorded these words nearly three thousand years ago, “You
will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in
you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.”
Isaiah 26:3-4 NIV
Join me today as together we commit our
hearts to peaceful living through a constant focus on our Heavenly Father through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
