So many people live today without peace, hope, or joy in their lives. Are you one of them? In this podcast, we look at Isaiah 26:3-4 to find out that peace comes as believers rest their minds on God. The passage calls it having our mind is stayed on God. It means to be centered on the Lord. Centering on the Lord is not easy but by relying on the resources of the Holy Spirit, the Word, and prayer we can learn more of Him. [ 116 more words ]

"Redeemer God, no words of mine are strong enough or deep enough to express my gratitude for all you have done in the glory of your cross.

Amen. " (HC)

There is security from yesterday, security for tomorrow, and security for today. It was this knowledge that gave our Lord the imperturbable peace He always had.

Communities are man’s attempt at building up the city of God; man is confident that if only God will give him time enough he will build not only a holy city, but a holy community and establish peace on earth, and God is allowing him ample opportunity to try, until he is satisfied that God’s way is the only way.

Reflection Questions: What worries and anxieties do I indulge in that reveal my lack of peace? What societies and systems do we build to minimize our need for peace with God?
