Isaiah 26:3

My aunt sent me this. It is a tremendous comfort. And, it's so amazing how much depth there is to one verse in the Bible!!! I wrote this out and am taping it to our cupboard in our kitchen!

Is 26:3

You will keep in perfect peace him whose

mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You.
  1. You will keep: Hbrw for keep is nasar
    meaning to guard protect, keep, used to denote
    guarding a vineyard, a fortress, God is a
    watchman guarding over my thoughts 
  1. in perfect peace: perfect peace Hbrw
        means shalom meaning safe, peaceful, sense of
    Well-being, prosperous relationship between
    2 people.
  1. him whose mind is steadfast: mind in
    Hbrw means is yester it means frame, pattern,
    image, conception, imagination thought, device. 
    It is what is formed in the mind-plans purposes.
    Frame: more than physical, our minds work to
    frame every circumstance, temptation and
    experience we have,
    Hebrw for steadfast is samak meaning to sustain,
    to be braced, to lean upon to lay on, to lay one
    hand on.  When temptation and troubling thoughts
    come the steadfast believer chooses to lay her
    hand on God’s word and know that it’s true.  
    4.)  …because he trust in You: trust in
    Hbrw is batach meaning to attach oneself,
    to confide in feel safe, be confident, secure.
    Like a small child who trust her parents. 
    The Lord be the Watchman of my mind-help
    me to love and trust you alone.

God has an amazing way of encouraging us at points where we're feeling low. Thanks for that...
