Rest in His Presence

Peace & His Presence

Scripture
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee.
Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)

Reflection

The peace of God guards the heart. Isaiah 26:3 promises, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace…" It is a sentinel that stands watch when our own thinking would betray us. Today, let the peace of God guard your heart. Refuse to let anxious thoughts have the last word. Replace them with truth, with prayer, with thanksgiving.

Prayer

Prince of Peace, settle Your peace deep in my heart today. Where I am anxious, calm me. Where I am restless, still me. Amen.

Thought for the Day

How might I slow down enough to notice God today?
