One of my favorite things that I love about hiking in nature, is the variety and beauty of bodies of water. Rivers flow and waves visit the shores of lakes and seas. Yet, the waters still take me to a place of peace. Rarely, are the waters perfectly still, but the sounds and sights calm my soul in the midst of my troubles.
Isaiah 26:3 says, “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Our minds and hearts will not be at peace when our mind is struggling with the problems and struggles of this world. But when we remember our always faithful and Almighty God, then peace floods our soul. Let’s put our troubles in the hands of God and trust that He loves us enough to work all things together for good.
