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 practicing this more than
ever in my life - including several times last year 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 pray that you enjoy and use as a reminder to trust our Lord in all things. This is an instrumental version but with the lyrics included.
