Isaiah 26:3-4 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
According to Brown, Driver's, Briggs Hebrew Lexicon, Shalom means "completeness, soundness, welfare, peace." In our text, we have shalom shalom, perfect peace.
The person who will have his mind and affections on the Lord God will be kept in perfect peace because he trusts in the Lord. God is our strength, our rock. When our heart and soul is fixed upon Jesus and what He has done for us, what He is doing for us and what He has promised for us, God will keep us in perfect peace. Will all the problems go away? No, probably not. Fixing our mind on problems that we cannot solve and cannot go away, will that make the problems go away? DEFINITELY NOT!
When our soul is fixed upon Jesus and we trust in Him, and the Word of God, having faith that God is not only able to do what He has promised but WILL do what He has promised, then God will give us that perfect peace in our soul. Trust in the Lord, forever. Today, tomorrow; forever. In the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.
