“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on thee: Because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 (KJV 1900)
How do you think of God when your mind is stayed on him? I drift off in perfect peace thinking of God as the eternal Spirit who extends in all directions without beginning or end. Who in himself created space to create the universe and all that is therein. And within his eternal presence, in perfect love, He generated [begat] the Son who together with him made the Holy Spirit to proceed. Yet in eternity time does not exist so this eternal generation of the Trinity, has neither beginning nor end but is always a static condition within the Godhead. And God created every creature great and small determining every thought, choice, and action they would ever experience, all aimed at fulfilling his unchangeable plan. Think of it. If only one of trillions upon trillions of your ancestral seed had been different, from you back to Adam, all from that point of time on would produce a different set of ancestors and you would not exist. Sweet dreams.
As Paul says: “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.” Acts 17:28 (KJV 1900)
