Isaiah 26:3 Meaning
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
What does Isaiah 26:3 mean?
Isaiah 26:3 offers one of Scripture's most precise pictures of peace — and tells us exactly where it comes from and how it is kept.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace.” The Hebrew behind “perfect peace” is literally “shalom, shalom” — peace doubled, peace upon peace. It is God who keeps it; the peace is guarded, not self-generated.
“Whose mind is stayed on thee.” A stayed mind is a leaning mind, one that rests its weight on God. The peace is tied to where our attention settles. A mind that circles its fears has no rest; a mind that leans on God is kept.
“Because he trusteth in thee.” Trust is the root beneath the stayed mind. Peace, then, is not a mood we manufacture but the fruit of trusting a trustworthy God — and returning our thoughts to him, again and again.
