You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! — Isaiah 26:3 (NLT) When our thoughts are fixated on trying to figure something out, it often leads to frustration. When our mind is constantly contemplating, “what if” scenarios, it leads to anxiety and fear. When we trust in the LORD and fix our thoughts on Him, He will keep us in perfect peace. And He will show us the way we are to go. People with their minds set on you, you keep completely whole, steady on their feet, because they keep at it and don’t quit. Depend on God and keep at it because in the LORD God you have a sure thing.  — Isaiah 26:3-4 (MSG)

Fix Your Thoughts!

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! — Isaiah 26:3 (NLT) We are instructed to cast our cares on the LORD because the act of throwing them will get them as far away from us as possible. As we cast all our cares on God, we acknowledge that He is able and admit that we are not. When we focus on solving problems, our thoughts become problem-centered. A mind focused on the cares of this life will cause anxiety, frustration and impatience. However, when we cast all our cares on our heavenly Father and focus on His mighty power and His unfailing love for us, our minds will be God-centered. This empowers us to stand strong in faith and trust God, no matter what. A mind centered on God will remain in perfect peace and full of joy. Fix your thoughts on Him today and release the power of God to work in your life!

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD God is the eternal Rock. — Isaiah 26:3-4 (NLT) Fix your thoughts upon the LORD —His goodness, His greatness, His unrelenting love for you. Remember His mercy and grace. Think about His mighty strength and wonder-working power. “For with God nothing will be impossible.”  (Luke 1:37 NKJV) The distractions of the enemy will only cause you to drift away from God and tempt you to quit. As we keep our trust and reliance upon the LORD, our Helper, we will experience perfect peace. Depend on God and keep at it because in the LORD God you have a sure thing (Isaiah 26:4 MSG): overwhelming victory, good success, true peace and everlasting joy, etc.

Strength & Peace

The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood, and the LORD sits as King forever. The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace. — Psalm 29:10-11 (NKJV) The LORD gives us the strength to utilize the talents He has given us and to fulfill the purpose for which we were created. Instead of relying on our own abilities, let us go in the strength of the Lord, our God. Then we will go from strength to strength, increasing in victorious power (Psalm 84:7) and from glory to glory. The LORD will also keep us in perfect peace, as we trust in Him and keep our thoughts fixed on Him (Isaiah 26:3). Praise the LORD!
