Peace is hard to come by. Proverbs 17:1 says "Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife." Peace is valuable. Some of us know this, but others here live for the stress and strain of a difficult life. At some point, we burn out and need a period of peace and quiet. But there is an underlying peace that the Bible talks about. It’s a feeling of security and assurance that strengthens and establishes you. That’s what we are studying about tonight.
Today, we are looking at Isaiah 26, a chapter that shines like a beacon of hope in the midst of life's storms. In a world where peace seems as fleeting as the morning mist, Isaiah offers us a vision of unshakable peace anchored in God's steadfast love and righteousness.
Imagine, if you will, standing before a mighty fortress, its walls unyielding and gates firmly shut against the chaos of the world. This is the picture Isaiah paints for us—a strong city, a bastion of peace and security for those who trust in the Lord. But this isn't just an ancient image; it's a vivid depiction of the spiritual reality we can experience today.
As we explore this profound chapter together, let's open our hearts to the lessons it holds. Lessons of trust, sovereignty, mercy, and hope. Lessons that, if embraced, can transform our lives and fill us with a peace that surpasses all understanding. Let's journey together into the heart of God's word, discovering how we, too, can find unshakable peace in these turbulent times.
Trust in God's Protection (Isaiah 26:1-6)
In the opening verses of Isaiah 26, we are presented with a powerful image: "In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: 'We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks.'" (Isaiah 26:1, ESV). Here, Isaiah speaks of a strong city—a symbol of divine protection and security for God's people. This city, with its salvation-walls and bulwarks, is not built by human hands but established by God Himself.
As we ponder this imagery, let's consider our own lives. We all face storms—trials and tribulations that threaten to shake us to our core. Yet, Isaiah reminds us that in God, we have a refuge, a place of safety where the enemy cannot prevail. It is in trusting God that the gates of this city open for us, welc
