April 16
Trusting God comes with great reward. It is not mere temporal advantage that is afforded to the people who place themselves under the wing of the True and Living God. Trusting Him comes with great inner blessings that manifest themselves most fully in the face of adversity.
In Isaiah 26:3 the prophet states that truth in very reassuring terms. Isaiah says, “You shall keep him in perfect peace whose mind is staid on You, because he trusts in You.” There is a treasure trove in those few words, for in them is the secret to standing unshaken, even in the midst of trial.
In Philippians 4:7 we are given further insight into this peace that is promised. It states, “And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.”
In Christ, God reveals Himself to be our very personal God whose provision includes inner peace even in adversity for any person who believes Him. Isaiah shows us God’s heart. Jesus shows us His face.
