The Elevation Blog Post today was for me... Here it is... I hope it's for you too!!!
Peace
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3


Not sure what is going on in your world whenever you read this, but this verse brought a lot of comfort to me today. The key truth that gripped my heart was that trusting in the Lord means that my mind is steadfast. That my thoughts rest firmly in the knowledge of who God is and what He has promised. I can’t say I trust in the Lord and then let my thought life be dictated by my circumstances. That is why the Faith Confessions we unveiled recently at Elevation were so powerful. When we focus our attention on Jesus and away from the wind and the waves of our circumstance, we realize the hope that we have in our Savior and the love that the Father has lavished upon us through the cross. In a sermon during our Give.Me.Faith. series, Pastor Steven said that we can always trust that a God who loved us enough to send His Son to die for us always has the best intentions towards us.
And that reality brings peace.
