Isaiah 26
A Song of Salvation
1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city;
God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2 Open the gates,
That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
4 Trust in the LORD forever,
For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.
Life can be seem unbearable at times. Physical pain, difficult decisions, financial hardships, the death of a loved one, or shattered dreams threaten to engulf us. We become fearful and perplexed. Plagued by doubts, we may even find it difficult to pray.
Those of us who know the Lord through personal faith in Christ have in Him a calm retreat in the storms of life, even while the howling winds of trial are sweeping over us. We can experience peace of mind and calmness of spirit.
Richard Fuller, a 19th century minister told of an old seaman who said, “In fierce storms, we must put the ship in a certain position and keep there.” Said Fuller, “This, Christian, is what you must do… You must put your soul in one position and keep it there. You must stay upon the Lord, and, come what may… winds, waves, cross seas, thunder, lightning, frowning rocks, roaring breakers — no matter what, you must hold fast your confidence in God’s faithfulness and His everlasting love in Christ Jesus.”
Do you feel overwhelmed by your toubles? Learn a lesson from that old sailor. Fix your mind on the Lord. Ask for His help. Then trust Him to give you peace in your storm (Phil 4:6-7).
