Perfect Peace in Peril
R. M. Kyle, B. A. Isaiah 26:3-4 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.… A respected brother in the ministry once told me that he was at Villa Franca in Italy, when a shock of an earthquake was felt. The various members of a family with which he then was all showed alarm or uneasiness in different ways, with the exception of one, who merely smiled at perceiving the effect produced on them. That one was a dying man — in about a week after he died in the Lord — and he knew that the time of his departure was at hand. It mattered little to him whether he were summoned by the slow wasting hectic, or by the crush of an earthquake. His mind was stayed on the Lord, and was therefore kept in perfect peace under circumstances which would have made most of us tremble. (R. M. Kyle, B. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. WEB: You will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
