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 – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6
