Monday Thought -- August 4, 2014

Good Morning Friends,

“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. The path of the righteous is level; O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth.” (Isaiah 26:3-4, 7)

We live in a world filled with turmoil and anxiety. There is so much to worry about! Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, wars, terrorist attacks. Disease and accidents often strike without warning and take abilities and sometimes life from those we love. The economy isn’t doing as well as it could. Stocks are up and down. Employment concerns trouble some people. There are so many things our world offers that can become snares for our children. There’s not a parent in our world who doesn’t worry, or shouldn’t. Marriages are breaking down in record numbers, who will be next, someone we know?

There is so much to worry about, where can a man find peace?

In only one place! Peace comes only from trusting the Lord. Peace comes only from putting our minds firmly on Him and sticking with Him through good times and bad times. There are other things which seem solid for periods of time, perhaps even long periods of time, but eventually every other foundation a man chooses will be shaken. Only the Lord remains a solid foundation worth building a life on. Even when the whole world shakes, He’ll still be the solid Rock!

His, by Grace,

Steve
