Read: Isaiah 26:1-9
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3
Bible In One Year: Amos 1-3; Revelation 6
Few things (if anything at all) in this fallen world can be called perfect. But God promises to keep us in "perfect peace" if we keep our minds focused on Him and continue trusting Him (Isaiah 26:3).
So why do we find it so difficult to trust Him? Often, it's because we're afraid that things won't go as we want them to unless we control them ourselves. The less we are in control, the more anxious and worried we become.
Author Hannah Whitall Smith wrote, "It is not hard, you find, to trust the management of the universe, and of all the outward creation, to the Lord. Can your case then be so much more complex and difficult than these, that you need to be anxious or troubled about His management of you?"
Yet we often think our situation is too difficult for God. If we can't solve things ourselves, we doubt that He can. We have our Christian beliefs, yesbut that isn't the same as believing God. Believing God is a personal response that grows out of our Christian faith and is expressed by our increasing trust in Him and His promises.
As our mind remains on Him, He keeps us in perfect peace. This has been the experience of countless believers, and you can experience it too. Joanie Yoder
beachie sez........what's with you two? all that talk yesterday, remember? and now "baby fever?" Very interesting. Sounds like we might be having another "baby watch" here at the Canteen. I'll have to tell Mojo! 8~>
Good morning Everyone. Good morning to our
Military, our Allies and their families. You have my deepest gratitude for all that you do!
Thanks Spotsy for opening the doors to the Canteen this morning. And, of course, for serving up the pancakes. Everything looks lovely this morning. Oh, and I see you put me on the front page. Now, I'll be under so much pressure to perform well on the next class. Seeing how it's my last one. LOL
BTW, you look lovely this morning. Did you get our outfits at the same place?
Now, I would like for you all to indulge me a little tantrum this morning
HOW COME Y'ALL ARE ALREADY OVER 150 POSTS?????
I was hoping to get here early enough to chat it up with you all before I have to do some real work. But, I see that it will take all day to catch up. I have a few things that have to be done. Plus, I am going out to lunch so I will be away from the Canteen. And, then I will be leaving work about 30 minutes early. SO....this means I won't have a lot of time to goof off play visit today. Waaaaaaaa..............
Now of course I've seen a few new faces that I MUST give a welcome to. And, then as I try to catch up on this thread, I hope to get to each and every one of you before I do leave!
Now remember, the Canteen is always open
So, come on in and sit for a while. There's alway plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS.
