Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
In order to benefit from "feeling" God's perfect peace, rather than my imperfect anxiousness, I must keep God in my mind, in my thoughts, at all times.
I had intended to use my lap swimming time for prayer and praise. I'm not sure if it was because it was 5:30 in the morning or because I was counting laps, or just because I'm distractible, but I couldn't stay focused. Instead I started singing songs in my head. I was able to do this with a slight bit more focus. I had read Isaiah 26:3 just before heading to the pool and I was actually pondering it. I was thinking in particular about that word, stayed. I think that will be the focus of my thoughts this week: what does it mean to have my mind stayed?
