"You will keep in perfect peace him
whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in you" - v3
This is one of my favourite verses and one of the first that I learnt when I became a Christian - God's promise here is that He will keep us in perfect peace when our mind is steadfast - our thoughts constantly turning towards Him or fixed on Him. The second condition is, bacause we are trusting in Him, this too will give us His peace when we are trusting all of ourselves, our plans, our hopes, our situations and our circumstances, those we love, to Him. Whatever is going on in our lives, as we trust everything into God's hands, He will fill us with His peace. This was the verse that I kept by my bed during a time of illness last year to look at whenever I was awake in the night. I can only say that I experienced the most incredible peace throughout all of that tough time.

This verse was very special to me during my final year of University exams. I meditated on it and recited it over and over again, and was blessed with God's peace.
Just turned the computer on needing something to focus my mind... and this verse does it for me! The reminder to have a steadfast mind, centered on God, is so apt in our busy lives. Technically a day late,I'm sure this is one God wants me to see today!
