Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

I lost my peace, not because of the news, not because of politics, not because of injustice, not because of anything anyone has said or done to me but because I sinned.

Not trusting God is a sin. It is at the root of all the faithful who do not sin those sins everyone else calls sins, but has sinned his own brand of sin.

Sometimes it is hard to admit sin, after all, I haven’t broken any of the ten. Yet I lost my peace and there is not one to blame for that than me. I know in my heart that keeping my peace is a sure sign I am walking with God, so when I lose it, well, there you go. I have sinned.

I have hurt no one, I have kept my tongue, from all outward signs, no one could accuse me of sin. But I lost my peace, I stopped trusting God about something. For that I have to stop and do a close examination of self and find that place in my heart that needs to be filled once again with the trust I lost.

So this devotional will be short today. I have work to do.

On myself.
