the rock eternal

The verse I have on my page is very important to our family. I was reminded of it this past weekend. I purchased a wall vinyl of the verse to put on our bedroom wall and procrastinated for the last six months to actually put it up. It is finally up thanks to lots of pushing and prodding from Nate. I am so glad he made us finally get it up because it encourages me every day as I walk into my room that I have the Lord, the Lord to give me perfect peace.

One of my kids asked why the verse doesn't say God in it and then we talked about other names for God - I want my kids to learn to call on God and praise Him with His various names - names of endearment that are encouragement to us.

They also asked why it says the Lord two times - my thought was that it was to remind us that it is the Lord without any doubts or hesitations and to not give any credit to anyone else. I also think God knew we need to hear things more than once to make it stick.

We claimed this verse for our marriage and placed it on our wedding cake and now it is a part of our home to continue to strive towards trust in our relationship with God.


Isaiah 26:3-4 (New International Version)

3 You will keep in perfect peace
him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you.

4 Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.
