“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” (Isaiah 26:3)
In my lifetime there have been wars and rumors of war just as Jesus prophesied in His Olivet discourse about the last days. There have been “peace conferences” among warring nations with the promise of peace. Then war breaks out again.
We are reminded of the raging storm at sea with waves crashing against the rocks and cliffs along the shore. In the midst of all of it, nestled in a cleft in the rock a little bird is asleep, apparently oblivious to the storm, perfectly at peace and safe.
There will be war and unrest until the Prince of Peace returns. Peace is more than just the absence of war. Peace is the tranquility that comes from trusting the Lord Jesus Christ.
