Verses I really liked from Isaiah 26:
"You, LORD, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you."
-Isaiah 26:3
Perfect peace! I really had trouble finding God's perfect peace this month, but I realized it started with putting my trust in God.
"We follow your will and put our hope in you; you are all that we desire."
-Isaiah 26:8
Following God's will... I asked God for something I really wanted, and I told God "if it is your will". I didn't get what I wanted, and I was really upset. I realized that it showed that I really didn't want God's will. My hopes should be in God and my desire should be God.
"You will give us prosperity, LORD; everything we achieve is the result of what you do."
-Isaiah 26:12
This was a new way of looking at things for me. I say "God, I give you the glory", but it was more like, "God, I did this for you". This verse tells me that all of my victories are not mine, but God's. I only achieved because God was working.
