Read Isaiah 26:1-4
A day is coming when this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts. Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith. You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD is the Rock eternal.
Do we wish for this day? There are many times I do. This is about the promise of God; His salvation offered to the nation made righteous by faith. And He will keep in perfect peace - I love that phrase because peace is one thing, but perfect peace is, well, perfect! The one whose mind is faithful and trusting in God. And I love how the song ends - the LORD is the Rock eternal.
Nothing can shake us outside of God's care and control; nothing can overcome us when we are in His powerful hands; and nothing can disturb us because a day is coming when perfect peace will be ours.
Longing for this day is our hope, it is our joy and it is our faith in Jesus and His finished work that will enable us to rest in this perfect peace. Regardless what we face today, a day's coming when His perfect peace will keep us. Trust today in the Rock eternal.
