You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

Trust in the Lord always,
for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

He humbles the proud
and brings down the arrogant city.
He brings it down to the dust.

The poor and oppressed trample it underfoot,
and the needy walk all over it.

But for those who are righteous,
the way is not steep and rough.
You are a God who does what is right,
and you smooth out the path ahead of them.

Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws;
our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.

I love to watch my children sleeping. It's the most peaceful sight to see. I makes my heart slow, and my body relax. I want to have that perfect peace I see on their faces in my heart as I deal with the challenges of life.
As I face the struggles and battles of life, I have found the words of Isaiah so true. As I set my eyes on the circumstances of my day, I feel stressed and overwhelmed. When I stop and put my thoughts on God's promises and His faithfulness in my life, I am filled with peace. It's not easy to trust, and I have to be reminded that He is the Rock Eternal!
I have seen as I trust HIM as my Rock, He does go before me and smooths my path. In amazing and miraculous ways, He goes before me to smooth my way. There might still be obstacles to overcome, but the path is straighter, easier, and enjoyable. (Disclaimer: I am in no way saying I am a righteous perfect person. I'm just a girl trying to please my King and seeking forgiveness daily.)
I pray you are filled with peace as you fix your thoughts on the Lord through your day.
