You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.
We may not always get things our way in life, but we can trust that God’s way is better. God is a good God, and He said that He has good things planned for His children: For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome ( Jeremiah 29:11 AMPC).
We do not have to be afraid of harm, because God is not an angry judge; He is not mean. He is good. We can rejoice with thanksgiving, knowing that everything good in life comes from God. He wants us to trust Him, and when we take a step of faith to do so, we will see the goodness of God manifested in our lives. The more we surrender, the better life becomes.
Prayer of the Day: Father, when I find myself disappointed by my circumstances, help me to remember that You are in control. I thank You that Your plan for my life is so much better than my own plan. I trust You and Your direction for my life.
