GOD'S ANSWER TO ANXIETY (4)
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee." Isaiah 26:3
Dr. D. James Kennedy wrote: "A proper epitaph for most people today would be 'Hurried, worried, buried'...Many times we wish we could wash our hands of all our responsibilities and worries. The executive of one small company decided to quit worrying about it. So, [he] called in his first vice-president and said, 'I have had it with worrying about this company. If you will take over and handle all my worrying for me, I'll add $50,000 to your salary.' Startled and perplexed by this generous offer (and knowing the financial condition of the company), the vice-president asked, 'But where are you going to get an extra $50,000?' The boss replied, 'That's your first worry!' William Gladstone, [one of England's] greatest prime minister[s], was a fine Christian man who served the Lord. On the wall of his bedroom hung a plaque embroidered with this text: 'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee.' It was the first thing Gladstone saw when he awoke in the morning and the last thing he saw before retiring at night. There is the secret of peace! We can have this peace because we know that the One upon whom we've stayed our minds is the One wo works all things together for our good. Is the frantic pace of modern life robbing you of peace today? If so, slow down and refocus on the Lord. Realize He's with you and He's in control no matter what comes your way. Stay your mind on Him and let Him grant you, His peace."
