What spoke to me most clearly in today's devotional was that the Peace that our Lord gives us is "to the extent that you trust in me (God)." Several weeks ago, Sarah Young wrote a devotional about the importance of our trust in the Lord; she suggested that we go throughout the day saying repeatedly that "I trust you, Jesus." I have been doing this more than ever in my life - including a few weeks ago as I was being wheeled into surgery. It was amazing how God's Presence gave me a remarkable Peace during that time.
Both of today's scripture passages are such wonderful affirmations about the fact that He WILL keep us in "perfect peace" when we take to him our anxieties - and our gratitude of thanksgiving.
The old hymn, "Only Trust Him," is a beautiful one that I hope you enjoy. This is an instrumental version but with the lyrics included.
