"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You." Isaiah 26:3
One of the greatest promises in the Bible is, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Who are you trusting to solve the problem, God or yourself? You need to live the principle, "Do your best, then let God do the rest. " Too many of us have the idea that if we can't do anything else, the least we can do is worry, act stressed out and be miserable. The Bible addresses this;
"And do not [for a moment] be frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and adversaries, for such [constancy and fearlessness] will be a clear sign (proof and seal) to them of [their impending] destruction, but [a sure token and evidence] of your deliverance and salvation, and that from God. " (Philippians 1:28 Amplified Version)
This Scripture teaches us that when adversity comes (and it will) we must stay in peace. Satan doesn't know what to do with us when he can't get us upset ; we've taken a powerful weapon out of his hands. "For such (constancy and fearlessness ) will be a....sign....from God. " Keeping your peace doesn't exempt you from life's difficulties, it just allows God to have the last word. By trusting Him completely you are no longer at the mercy of circumstances , of other people, or your own emotions and limitations.
Somebody quipped, "In times like these it's helpful to remember that there have always been times like these." The question is not will trouble come, but how will you handle it? The writer to the Hebrews says. "We which have believed do enter into the rest "(Hebrews 4:3).
When things go wrong--do what God leads you to do, then rest in Him and watch Him work on our behalf.
