“WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU!”

 Isaiah 26:3-4                  (ESV)

    “[3] You keep HIM (JESUS) in perfect peace

        “WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU”,

        because HE trusts in you. 

    [4] Trust in the LORD forever,

        for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.

One of the things I do is place a photograph of whoever currently “holds my heart” on the wallpaper of my cell phone.  My grandchildren held that post for ALMOST ten years, that is until my EYES were OPENED to UNDERSTAND that they would not be here without my wife succumbing to marrying me almost 42 years ago!  So I changed the photo back to my wife a little over a year ago and it remains on my most beautiful woman in my world!!!

But JESUS CHRIST carries a totally different image than even my wife could ever project!!  And according to Isaiah 26:3, HE thinks much more about me than I do for HIM!!!  “You (we Believers) keep HIM (JESUS) in perfect peace “WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU”, because HE trusts in you” is a verse that I have been ruminating about in my mind for a while.  Why would THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSES even be bothered by a minuscule being such as me??  HE has already given me children and grandchildren that far better than I deserve!  BUT HE has ALSO BLESSED me with a “helpmeet” that FAR EXCEEDS my wildest imaginations!!!

My sons are imperfect, mainly because I am their father!!!  But when GOD SEES this humble servant, HE SEES the SACRIFICE (2 Corinthians 5:21) of JESUS on my behalf!!!  In NO WAY do I deserve this GRACE, but I am SO BLESSED that HE had Isaiah pen these WORDS almost 2,800 years ago!  

“WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU” is an unimaginable PROMISE from THE ONE WHO IS ABLE TO MAKE AND KEEP SUCH A PROMISE!!!
