Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

Faith is believing in the unseen. Just because we cannot see God does not mean we cannot see the affect He has on everything around us.

We have this wonderful peace and Joy God gives us through our believing in Him and our faith in Christ as our Saviour.

It is the believing and trusting which leaves us with the peace and joy because our minds are convinced in Christ; not just because we have faith but because He is faithful toward us!

Psalm 3:5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.

How do you sleep when you are really worried about something? Do you struggle or maybe you just cannot sleep at all?

David shows us here just how comforting it is to know God; even though he was so tied up in distress and worry about his son catching and trying to kill him, he still gave it to God and was able to rest.

Give your worries to God. Don’t say so and hold them back. Don’t give them to Him in name but not for real. Give your worries to God, totally and properly!

Psalm 4:8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Each time we see David complain about the things that go wrong in his life we also see him lift up God and give Him praise for looking out for him!

That always bring joy to my heart, knowing that every bad thing that comes through my life has a reason, but I have a Saviour who walks every step of those times with me.

Christ is always by our side when we get into trouble. He is always holding out His arms to protect us when we feel surrounded by death, disruption, sorrow or any other evil.

We may not feel safe, we may not be safe in this world, but we are safe in Christ’s hands!
