In The LORD GOD,

You Have An Everlasting Rock

 

 

On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; he sets up victory like walls and bulwarks. Open the gates, so that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in. Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace – in peace because they trust in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for in the LORD GOD you have an everlasting rock.

 

Isaiah 26:1-4

 

Life can seem unbearable at times. Physical pain, difficult decisions, financial hardships, the death of a loved one, or shattered dreams threaten to engulf us. We become fearful and perplexed. Plagued by doubts, we may even find it difficult to pray. Those of us who know the Lord through personal faith in Christ have in Him a calm retreat in the storms of life, even while the howling winds of trial are sweeping over us. We can experience peace of mind and calmness of spirit. You must stay with the LORD; and regardless of winds, waves, thunder, lightning, rocks, and breakers – no matter what, you must hold fast your confidence in God’s faithfulness and His everlasting love in Christ Jesus.

 

Do you feel overwhelmed by your troubles? Learn a lesson from an old sailor. Fix your mind on the Lord. Ask for His help. Then trust Him to give you peace in your storm.

 

The secret of peace is to give every anxious care to God.
