My dear friend, it is a joy for me to greet you this morning. Today, God’s promise for you is found in Isaiah 26:3, which says, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast.” My friend, according to this verse, God will give you His perfect peace today. When we think about peace, we often imagine the calmness and security we experience in life. Imagine yourself sitting in a boat in the middle of a serene lake. The sun is shining, and a cool breeze gently brushes your face. You feel completely secure, utterly relaxed, and at peace, knowing that everything around you is still and calm.

But what happens if you are in the same boat yet surrounded by a thick fog? You cannot see what lies ahead, the waters are turbulent, and uncertainty fills the air. You do not know if you will survive. Yet, even in this situation, you can have peace in your heart, an unshakable peace, because you know that your life is in the hands of a greater person. You are confident that you will make it through. That, my dear friend, is perfect peace, the divine peace that God gives us.

We may be surrounded by difficulties, unsure of what the future holds. Perhaps life seems turbulent, with countless obstacles blocking our path, making it difficult to move forward. But even in the midst of these challenges, God grants us His peace, a firm assurance that He is with us, caring for us every step of the way. The Bible affirms this in Psalm 119:165, “Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing can make them stumble.”

Yes, my dear friend, when you love the Lord, trust in Him, and follow His commands, He fills you with His perfect peace, the peace that keeps you from stumbling. Nothing can shake you. Words may rise against you. People may oppose you. Obstacles may try to hinder your progress, and challenges may seek to bring you down. But in every situation, God will uphold you with His peace. You will not stumble. You will not be overcome by fear. You will rest in the assurance that your life is in God’s hands, and He will take you safely to the other side, to your destination. He will be with you throughout your journey. So, my dear friend, take heart and be encouraged! God is with you. He will fill you with His peace and lead you through. Shall we thank Him for this peace and ask Him to sustain us with this peace throughout this day?

PRAYER: 
Precious Lord, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude. I thank You for the perfect peace that is filling my life right now. Lord, Your peace is not like the world’s. It is perfect and everlasting. Even in the midst of my struggles, I choose to trust in You. Pour out Your divine wisdom, protection, and guidance upon me today. Help me to face every challenge, knowing that You are in control. Remind me that You are taking care of my every need. Lead me safely to the destination You have prepared for me. Let Your peace reign in my heart as I go about my day. Thank You, Lord, for being my refuge, my strength, and my peace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
