Trust

Quote from the radio series, "Where to Find Security."
God’s main protection against fear and worry is trust and I’m going to read you a passage from Isaiah, chapter 26, verses 3 and 4, where the Prophet Isaiah speaks about protection from fear and worry. These words are addressed to the Lord and he says:
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.
Going back to the first verse, “You will keep in perfect peace;” that’s complete protection against fear and worry. And then it speaks about the area where fear and worry attack—the mind. “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is steadfast,” settled, and the way to have a settled, steadfast mind is stated in the next line—“Because he trusts in You.” And then comes this beautiful exhortation, “Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.” The Lord is repeated there. It’s used twice for emphasis—“The Lord, and only the Lord is the rock eternal.”
