You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
Isaiah 26:3-4
There are 168 hours in a 7 day week. Of those hours, it is recommended for humans to sleep about 56 of them. That would be 8 hours each night. Some people need a bit less, and some a bit more. That leaves 112 hours to do everything else, like prepare food and eat, bathe and dress, watch TV, read a devotion, call or visit with friends, clean our homes, mow the lawn, attend school functions, and so many other things.
Oh, and let us not forget worship. In fact, this text helps us understand how important God is in our weekly routine. God is the basis of our mental calm in life. Putting Him and His word first in our thoughts and actions is the ultimate benefit in our lives.
And note that it is because of who He is – the ‘everlasting rock.’ The very thing that we build our lives on – something that is solid. We can count on Him to be there for us in all things. Putting Him first gives us daily benefits. Praise God for His faithfulness! May we be faithful too.
