A look at today's headlines can produce anxiety -- fear and uncertainty as to the future. Recession, depression, socialism, atheism, nuclear development, terrorism, the list goes on...
How should a child of God react? How to cope with all these depressing and anxiety-producing statistics?
Isaiah 25 tells us: "Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall." (vs. 3-4)
This is the Lord our God. When we are needy and in distress, when terrible ones and terrible nations come against us in a blast -- He is our strength.
Isaiah 26:3 prescribes for us the antidote for anxiety: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Yes, we can have perfect peace in the midst of all the turmoil in this world, IF we STAY our minds on HIM. If we trust only in HIM.
