Perfect Peace – Man as Chaplain
“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock. For he has humbled the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust. The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy. The path of the righteous is level; you make level the way of the righteous." - Isaiah 26:3-7 ESV
I have seen my fair share of warfare, some waged openly and some clandestinely but nonetheless deadly. More often than not, some sort of conflict, military or otherwise, is happening somewhere around the globe. After 9/11, The New York Times published an article by Chris Hedges titled “What Every Person Should Know About War.” In the article, he poses the question, “Has the world ever been at peace?” He answers that, “Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 percent of recorded history.”
The book of Isaiah provides more proof of just how much warfare there is in human history. This chapter follows several of Isaiah’s prophecies that speak of God’s coming judgment on sinful nations and even His own rebellious people. Often in the Old Testament, God’s judgment took the form of military invasions, sieges, and wars. Yet beyond the devastation of war, God promised to bring perfect peace to the hearts and minds of those willing to trust in Him.
