Isaiah 26:3            Peace
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth
in Thee.” Isaiah 26:3

God is love. Perfect love casteth out fear. If we keep our minds on the Lord and trust and
obey Him, He will keep us in perfect peace. I think the key to perfect peace is the second
part of the verse “because he trusteth in Thee.” If we trust God implicitly with everything,
casting all our cares upon Him, the many worries, fears and distractions the world throws
our way will not distract us from God’s work. As long as we keep our mind stayed on
God, He will keep us in perfect peace, because we are trusting in Him. AN



Isaiah 45:1-25            Rejoice in My Salvation

In Isaiah 45 God predicts the future deliverance of Israel from captivity by using Cyrus. To
provide proof, He reminds them that He is the Creator (vs. 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 18), the Savior (vs. 15,
17, 21, 22) and there is none else (vs. 6, 18, 21).  He is reminding the Jews of Who He is and
that because of Who He is, they can be assured of the promise He is making.  In vs. 22-23,
God promises salvation to all who believe in Him.  "²² Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.  ²³ I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear." Just as the Jews of that time, we can be assured of His promise of salvation. Just as history records the deliverance of the Jews by Cyrus, it also records the deliverance of us all in Jesus who died for our sins and rose again the third day (I Cor. 15:3-4).
God wants everyone to come to him through Jesus (I Tim 2:3-6).  However, as He promised in
Isaiah 45 whether we come to Him through faith or reject him "every knee shall bow, every
tongue shall swear."  The choice is ours to come to Him through faith in Jesus and bow in acceptance of His offer of eternal life with Him or to reject Him and bow to Him in acceptance
of His just punishment of eternal separation from Him in Hell. I rejoice in the assurance of my salvation because I can rest in the fact that He is my Creator, He is my Savior, and there is
none else. NN



Isaiah 56:1            Insights of Justice
Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for My salvation is near to come,
and My righteousness to be revealed. Isaiah 56:1
  
In this day and time any person executing justice is a minority. People do not seem to
understand the difference between black and white. We all let ourselves get mixed up in the
gray area. People are always talking about how terrible this world is. The truth is
if every person in this world would understand that right is right and wrong is wrong we would
find ourselves in a lot less trouble. Some people say that there is no need to try, it is not going
to do any good any way. Well to those people I say, "Get out of the pews and start looking
at the facts." God has never broken His Word no matter what the consequence; and Thus
saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Isaiah 56:1 His salvation is near to come and His righteousness
is to be revealed. Where do you want to be standing on Judgment Day? Do you want to be on
the blessed side of the lake of fire? Or, do you want to be stubborn and in that lake of fire wishing for some one to put one drop of water on your tongue? The choice is yours. Get out
of the gray and into the white. There is no compromise on judgment day. Make your decision...before it is too late. NEN
