UNSHAKEABLE TRUST
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. (Isaiah 26:3)
There was a Bishop in Norway. During the Second World War, the German Army captured that country. At that time, one day, there was a knock at the door of the Bishop’s house.
When the door was opened, a German army officer was standing majestically. He said: “Bishop! I am going to arrest you.” The Bishop had no hesitation whatever.
All his relatives screamed: Alas! They are going to arrest the Bishop!” But he said with a smile: “I shall come with you,” and went boldly with the army officer. He returned home very soon after being released. Even after the war, God gave Him the grace to do His ministry with staunch faith for many more years.
At that hour of crisis, the Holy Spirit gave him such calm and courage. Was it not because he had implicit trust in God and knew that in his life everything would happen for his good, that even in that situation he could stand so fearless and bold? Otherwise, he would have faltered in fear.
When we live pinning our faith in God, all will be for good in our lives. The Holy Spirit Himself will grant us a clear understanding, divine peace, confidence to stand fast in any crisis and live victorious lives.
The Scripture says, “You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you” (Isaiah 26:3). According to this verse, let us look up to God instead of focusing on our problems. When we thus trust in Him, His peace will rule our hearts.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
True peace comes from You. You have promised peace to your children. I look to You for peace and place my cares on You. I trust in your faithfulness. Let your peace rule my heart. Deliver me from my hardships. Give me the strength to overcome the trials and enable me to shine for your glory.
I ask this through Christ our Lord
Amen.
