Word for the Day May 22
By: Evang. Cascille Hammack
"You will keep in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You."
Isaiah 26:3
To have faith is to trust God. To allow fear to dominate your
thoughts proves you do not trust Him. The enemy, who walks around as a roaring lion, uses fear to try to intimidate
the mind. But he is a liar and the father of lies. 2 Tim. 1:7 declares, "For God has not given
us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." The enemy can only have dominion if you let
him. Isaiah 26:3 teaches that God will keep in perfect peace those whose mind stay on Him because he trusts in
Him. Are you trusting Him with your life today or are you leaning on your own strength and understanding? Those
who do that will be quickly shown the futility of such as that is operating in pride, the pride of your own ways and
God hates pride. Proverbs 16:18 tells us, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."
God requires His children to trust Him and to keep their eyes on Him. He is able to do all.
Nothing is too hard for Him. He only requires your trust and belief that He will see you through. He will get
all of the glory. If you have died to yourself and have been born again into His kingdom, your life is no longer about
you, it is about Him. Gal. 2:20 explains, "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ
lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself
for me."
