Isaiah 26:3, 4
You will keep the mind that is dependent on you in perfect peace,
for it is trusting in you.
Trust in the LORD forever,
because in the LORD, the LORD himself,
is an everlasting rock! (CSB)

Advent’s anticipation of the coming of Jesus focuses on Peace this week. Peace is the condition of our souls when we have learned and leaned into the ever-present reality of God’s leading and surrounding presence. Peace is the presence of a mind settled on God’s goodness and provision. Peace is an overflow of God’s perfect love refreshing all it touches and fills.

Peace is possible when we learn to depend on God for all things and in all things. He is completely trustworthy. His faithful love never ends.

My coworker takes a monthly day away she calls a DAWG Day. DAWG is an acrostic meaning Day Alone With God. Try it. You will learn to love it. We should also practice DOG Days. DOG stands for Depend On God. The benefits of Depending On God day by day start with perfect peace but do not end there. Perfect Peace is the gateway through which we begin to experience ever more of God’s perfection and wonder.

Schedule a DAWG Day soon. Learn the practices and rhythms of making every day a DOG Day.

Perfect Peace will overflow your life and soothe the souls you encounter. You will be the best part of some people’s days. You will magnify the Lord our God for others to see in ways they have not yet perceived.

Trust God now and forever. He is our everlasting rock, our refuge, our hiding place, our source of everything we need and all we enjoy.

I will trust God now and forever and live with the perfect peace this provides.

Our Father, thank you that we can trust you at all times for all things. We can depend on you because you are forever trustworthy and true. Invade our lives with your peace. Empower us to live lives of perfect peace. Make us peace carriers in every conversation and situation. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 119:1-8

Psalm 119:1-8

“Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord.
Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts.
They do not compromise with evil,
and they walk only in his paths.
You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully.
Oh, that my actions would consistently
reflect your decrees!
Then I will not be ashamed
when I compare my life with your commands.
As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should!
I will obey your decrees.
Please don’t give up on me!”

Daily D – 2 Kings 20:16-19

2 Kings 20:16-19 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Lord: The time is coming when everything in your palace—all the treasures stored up by your ancestors until now—will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord. Some of your very own sons will be taken away into exile. They will become eunuchs who will serve in the palace of Babylon’s king.”

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “This message you have given me from the Lord is good.” For the king was thinking, “At least there will be peace and security during my lifetime.”

Daily D – John 16:33

John 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Daily D – John 16:19-22

John 16:19-22 Jesus realized they wanted to ask him about it, so he said, “Are you asking yourselves what I meant? I said in a little while you won’t see me, but a little while after that you will see me again. I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world. So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.”

Daily D – John 15:12-13

John 15:12, 13 “This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
