Deeper Life #355

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

—Isaiah 26:8

GOD SOFTLY BREATHES STERN MESSAGES to His children. And what is the result? Are His children stricken with fear? Never.

You will find, as you walk with your mind stayed on God, that nothing will take you by surprise. You will not be panic stricken. God will not permit it; He will keep you in perfect peace. But there is a condition: If you keep your mind stayed on Him.

Why are so many of us panic stricken when some trouble or trial suddenly faces us? Because we get our eyes off of Him. Keep your eyes on Jesus and you will be kept steadfast and immovable.

Our joy is unspeakable and full of glory. Let the Lord sanctify you wholly. Then you will know the “peace of God, which passeth all understanding.”

Prayer Thought: This world is full of problems and perplexity, Lord. But You are my peace!
