Isaiah 26:3 - Peace That Surpasses All Understanding.

Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) You will keep him in 
perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because 
he trusts in You. 

Isaiah 26:3 (NLT) You will keep in perfect 
peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are 
fixed on you!  

INTRODUCTION

We can never avoid strife in the world 
around us, but with God we can know perfect peace 
even in turmoil. When we are devoted to him, our 
whole attitude is steady and stable. Supported by 
God's unchanging love and mighty power, we are not 
shaken by the surrounding chaos (see Philip. 4:7). 
Do you want peace? Keep your thoughts on and 
your trust in God. [Life Application SB] 

COMMENTARY PEARL

Those who take Christ at His word, and 
surrender their souls to His keeping, their lives to 
His ordering, will find peace and quietude. 
Nothing of the world can make them sad when Jesus 
makes them glad by His presence. In perfect 
acquiescence there is perfect rest. Our lives may seem 
a tangle; but as we commit ourselves to the 
wise Master Worker, He will bring out the pattern 
of life and character that will be to His own 
glory. {DA 331}  

COMMENTARY

A Heavenly Focus
   Do you have a hard time concentrating on 
tasks? We all struggle to tune out distractions. 
There are ways to increase your concentration. For 
instance, try to eliminate unnecessary diversions, 
make sure you get enough sleep and exercise, 
minimize fats and sugars in your diet, and take short 
breaks while working on big jobs. 
   Nothing else brings peace like focusing 
on our heavenly Father does. Isaiah described 
the great day of the Lord when the righteous 
will be gathered into the holy city: "We have a 
strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls 
and bulwarks. Open the gates, that the righteous 
nation which keeps the truth may enter in" (Isaiah 
26:1, 2). What a place of security that will be! 
   But we dont need to wait for the 
Second Coming to experience such peace. It can 
happen now, even amid the distractions that 
overwhelm us. Today's promise shows us the way. 
   Yes, well experience perfect peace in 
the New Jerusalem. No more attacks from the 
enemy; no more sickness, pain, or death. But even 
now, when we learn to trust in the care of our 
heavenly Father, when we take time to focus on the 
God who promises to always be with us, we can 
have peace. 
   Do you want an inward calm that refuses 
to be ruffled by exterior storms? Practice 
concentrating on your loving Father in heaven. Pray to Him 
multiple times throughout the day. God promises that 
when you keep your mind focused on Him, you will 
experience serenity. 
   My heavenly Father, I stop right now to 
rest in Your arms. I set aside all distractions 
and think about You. [The Most Amazing Bible
