Who is the steadfast in mind?
The one who is loyal, faithful, committed, devoted, dedicated, steady, true, staunch and trusting in God.
It is those who are steadfast that will be kept in perfect peace. Peace in the midst of turmoil. Steady no matter what happens around them. Peace that replaces the wringing of hands, fear and anxiety.
How can that be possible, in a broken world?
It is possible because of trust in a sovereign God. Trust that His eye is ever on us. Trust that He hears our prayers. Trust that we never walk alone.
~Thought For Today~
At some point our trust will be betrayed. It doesn’t matter who betrayed us or what constituted the betrayal. It is a painful awakening that people are human. Even our family and friends are capable of failing us when it comes to trust. We do not want to become skeptical. Our goal should be to honor those who place their trust in us by keeping that trust. Letting them see that they have found a safe place in us.
The only trust that cannot be broken is the trust we place in our Heavenly Father. His word is true. He is holy and reliable. He will not betray us. Our part in the realtionship is to remain faithful and true to Him. Giving witness always to His love for us, so that others will seek a relationship with Him.
~Scripture For Today~
Isaiah 26:3
3 “The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. (NASB)
~Prayer For Today~
