Perfect Peace!
Dear Friends,
Perfect peace? You might say, “Impossible!” It is unquestionably difficult but today’s devotional shows you how to deal with the problems that make it so difficult. God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
Isaiah 26:3-4
Isaiah 26:3-4 (ESV)
3 You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting rock
Isaiah 26:3-4
“PEACE, PERFECT PEACE
“Peace, perfect peace,
In this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus
Whispers peace within.
Peace, perfect peace,
By thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus,
This is rest.
Peace, perfect peace,
With sorrows surging round?
On Jesus’ bosom
Naught but calm is found.
Peace, perfect peace,
With loved ones far away?
In Jesus’ keeping
We are safe, and they
Peace, perfect peace,
Our future all unknown?
Jesus we know,
And He is on the throne.
Peace, perfect peace,
Death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death
And all its powers.
It is enough:
Earth’s struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus call us to
Heaven’s perfect peace.”
[Edward H. Bickersteth (1825-1906)]
