Msg #24032 Perfect Peace in Troublous Times
What The Bible Says
Good Samaritan’s Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice
“O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. … 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” (Isa.25:1,26:3-4). Reading Isaiah can cause a believer to react right in troublous times; Israel and Judah saw them big time, and it is clearly justified that it is the hand of God and their own foolish fault. A couple things here enlighten and encourage. Foremost, the Lord GOD has all things under control. In the military it’s been said, “If you can keep your head while everyone else is loosing theirs, you probably don’t understand the situation.” In real life, the Word of God gives both understanding and perfect peace, so keep your head. It is very frustrating when progressive-liars are so widely believed, but God promises things at Christ’s return, “And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, … And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces” (25:6-8). Isaiah is laced with these promises for Israel in the Kingdom Age, he will fulfill every one of them, and Jesus said “behold, the kingdom of God is within you” (Luk.17:21). Live in the Kingdom, be ready always to give reason of the hope that is in you, … And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him (1Pet.3:15, Isa.25:9).
