You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in YAH, the Lord is everlasting strength. -Isaiah 26: 3,4
“In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.” Take this with you through the year. The strength of every soul is in God and not in man. Quietness and confidence is to be the strength of all who give their hearts to God. Christ has not a casual interest in us, but an interest stronger than a mother’s for her child. Says the prophet, “Can a woman forget her sucking child?… yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.” Our Saviour has purchased us by human suffering and sorrow, by insult, reproach, abuse, mockery, rejection, and death. He is watching over you, trembling child of God. He will make you secure under his protection. Through his servant he says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.” “They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever.” {HM June 1, 1897, Art. B, par. 9}
Having a mind like Christ, we will have perfect peace and trust in Him forever. Let us strive to have that everlasting trust in Lord for that everlasting strength that He gives.
