A Perfect Gift

If I am a steadfast person, I am fixed in one direction. My eyes stay facing the same way, and I don't look back. I am "steadily directed," and my purpose is unchanging. You see, for a Christian to be steadfast it means that his gaze is fixed only in the direction of Jesus. The things of the world might temporarily pass along, but a steadfast Christian doesn't turn their head away from the image of the Savior. The Bible offers a wonderful gift to him who has a steadfast mind, a gift that I have needed so much lately. That gift is peace....perfect peace.

"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You." 

Isaiah 26:3

That peace He offers is not something that disappears just because I don't think it or believe it. It remains, just as He remains.
