This verse contains a similar thought to yesterday’s post.
Isaiah 28:16 says, “the one who trusts will never be dismayed.” Isaiah is speaking about one who trusts in the cornerstone established by God as the foundation for Zion. Peter quotes this verse in 1 Peter 2:6 and explains that this is a reference to Jesus who we as Christians believe is the Jewish Messiah.
Isaiah and Peter are saying that the one who trusts Jesus will never be dismayed. The conclusion I draw is that if I am dismayed it has to do with my lack of trust.
The question of the day is do I believe these promises? Do I believe that I can live a life in peace and without dismay? Do I really trust God for everything, or just some things? Do I choose to allow him to be in control and trust him for the outcome?
I choose today to look to God for my peace, live as though I am at peace and trust God and put away dismay.
