God's Words For US
by Cecelia Lester
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)
I find these words comforting. They convey the core message of our search for peace.
We will find peace when we keep our focus, our eyes, on God.
In this world, something always presents itself before us that tries to cause worry and heartache.
We have God who loves us and desires the best outcome for our lives. When we look to Him when we have those issues enter our lives, He is there to bring comfort to us.
One of the hymns, I learned as a young adult speaks clearly to me as I compose these thoughts.
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
O soul are you weary and troubled
No light in the darkness you see
There's light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free
Chorus:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace
His word shall not fail you he promised
Believe him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell
Chorus:*
Each of us must practice looking to Jesus for guidance, direction, and Peace
