You will keep in perfect peace

those whose minds are steadfast,

because they trust in you.

Trust in the LORD forever,

for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal.

The Hebrew word for steadfast used in verse 3 is samak, which means “to brace, uphold, support.” Amazing, huh? In other words, those with minds fully braced, upheld, and supported by truth and trust in God will be kept in perfect peace.

Will I trust that God sees and knows things I don’t? Will I trust Him when I don’t understand? When circumstances are hard? When people betray or reject me? When my heart gets broken? Will I trust Him to the point where I fully turn the control of my life and those I love over to Him?

If God is good and God is good to me, then I must fill in the gaps of all the unknowns of my life with a resounding statement of trust: God is good at being God.

I don’t have to figure my present circumstances out. I don’t have to know all the whys and what-ifs. All I have to do is trust. So in quiet humility and without a personal agenda, I make the decision to let God sort it all out. I sit quietly in His presence and simply say, “God, I want Your truth to be the loudest voice in my life. Correct me. Comfort me. Come closer still. And I will trust. God, You are good at being God.”

Dear Lord, I am so grateful that You are God and I am not! I trust in Your goodness. Thank You for the peace You give me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
