Bible in a Year: Isaiah 41-42, 1 Thessalonians 1

Trust in the Lord forever.
Isaiah 26:4

Today's Scripture & Insight: Isaiah 26:1-4

Opening the blinds one winter morning, I faced a shocking sight. A wall of fog. "Freezing fog," the weather forecaster called it. Rare for our location, this fog came with an even bigger surprise: a later forecast for blue skies and sunshine—"in one hour." "Impossible," I told my husband. "We can barely see one foot ahead." But sure enough, in less than an hour, the fog had faded, the sky yielding to a sunny, clear blue.

Standing at a window, I pondered my level of trust when I can only see fog in life. I asked my husband, "Do I only trust God for what I can already see?"

When King Uzziah died and some corrupt rulers came to power in Judah, Isaiah asked a similar question. Whom can we trust? God responded by giving Isaiah a vision so remarkable that it convinced the prophet that He can be trusted in the present for better days ahead. As Isaiah praised, "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you" (Isaiah 26:3). The prophet added, "Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal" (v. 4).

When our minds are fixed on God, we can trust Him even during foggy and confusing times. We might not see it clearly now, but if we trust God, we can be assured His help is on the way.
