Being steadfast

“You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3
The word ‘steadfast’ here is the Hebrew samak, meaning ‘to lean upon’ or ‘to be propped up’. It conveys the sense of putting all your weight upon something. If our mind is steadfast on God, it means we have made a conscious, unwavering decision to trust God and follow Him no matter what. We have made up our mind, and no-one can compel us to change it. A deep-seated faith like this is absolutely necessary for us to stand in the midst of the storms that life throws at us. And although those storms will come, if our mind is steadfast in holding onto the fact that God is in control, we will have the peace that only comes from Him.
If you are in need of peace of mind today, look to God as the one who protects you and provides for you. Cling to Him like you would cling to a life raft in the sea. He is always watching over you, and He will never let you go.
