God's Protection and Peace


"With perfect peace You will protect those whose minds cannot be changed, because they trust You." - Isaiah 26:3 GW

Isaiah 26:3 is one of the most frequently quoted verses in Scripture. For years, I have been confessing to the Lord, "You will keep me in perfect peace because my mind is stayed on You, and I trust in You!" (NKJV)

One morning, the Holy Spirit was ministering to me about a certain situation that called for me to stand firm in my faith. And He led me to the God's Word translation of Isaiah 26:3, which says that the Lord will "protect those whose minds cannot be changed," because they trust in Him. I knew then that wavering in my situation was not an option for me, because only by standing firm would I have God's protection and provision.

The very next verse in this passage says, "Trust the Lord always, because the Lord, the Lord alone, is an Everlasting Rock." (Isaiah 26:4 GW) You and I are simply never going to find anyone who is more worthy of our trust than our all-knowing and all-powerful God. When He instructs you to stand firm in some way, don't let your mind be changed by anyone or anything. Then you will have the protection and peace that He promises in His Word!

Prayer: Lord, remind me often that Your Word says, "If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all." (Isaiah 7:9 NIV) Help me to spend time in Your presence and Your Word on a regular basis, knowing that it is the Word of Your grace that builds my faith. (Acts 20:32) Guard me from the doubt and unbelief that would cause me to stray from Your Truth and Your perfect will for me. Cause me to continually seek the approval of God, rather than the approval of people. (John 12:43; Galatians 1:10) Thank You that as "my whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You," I will have Your divine protection and peace! (Psalm 63:8 AMPC)
