When evil tidings are abroad those shall calmly expect the event, and not be disturbed by frightful apprehensions arising from them, whose hearts are fixed, trusting in the Lord, Psalm 112:7. When you think about it, stress can be Gods way of saying, Get your focus in line: look at Me. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Those that trust in God must have their minds stayed upon him, must trust him at all times, under all events, must firmly and faithfully adhere to him, with an entire satisfaction in him and such as do so God will keep in perpetual peace, and that peace shall keep them. Proverbs 16:7 When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. It is the character of every good man that he trusts in God, puts himself under his guidance and government, and depends upon him that it shall be greatly to his advantage to do so. Psalm 121:8 (WYC) The Lord keep thy going in and thy going out from this time now and into the world. After the coming judgement for their sin, a day will dawn when Israel will be redeemed and restored, and they will walk in the paths of righteousness and be covered. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you. He sings of how God will restore Israel, who will once again walk in righteousness and peace. This is here the matter of a promise, Thou wilt keep him in peace, peace, in perfect peace, inward peace, outward peace, peace with God, peace of conscience, peace at all times, under all events this peace shall he be put into, and kept in the possession of, whose mind is stayed upon God, because it trusts in him. In Isaiah 26, we see the prophet rehearsing a song of trust in the provision of God.
That all who belong to it are safe and easy, and have a holy security and serenity of mind in the assurance of God’s favour.
