Content in Misery

3 You will keep the mind that is dependent on you
in perfect peace,
for it is trusting in you. (Isaiah 26:3 CSB)

Perfect peace. Sounds like a dream doesn’t it. But it is not. If we can keep our minds focused and dependent upon God he will provide a peace even in troubled times.

Too often I find people who are content in their misery. I do not understand this. Maybe it is because they have deceived themselves into thinking that this is the best they can hope for. Maybe they are trying to fulfill the old idea of misery loving company.

We all have our down days. But if we just refocus on God it is amazing how quickly our negative mind begins to shift to better things. Often without even realizing it our mood lifts and we begin to feel hopeful.

We move toward perfect peace.
