Isaiah 26:3 KJV
Isaiah · chapter 26 · verse 3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.Isaiah 26:3 · King James Version
What Isaiah 26:3 means
Perfect peace is the word for peace said twice, the way you'd repeat something to make it stronger. The condition is a mind stayed on God, and stayed is a leaning word — it's what you do with your weight. The peace isn't promised to people who feel settled. It's promised to people who keep their thoughts fixed on him.
