SPRING FORTH NOW 2025

Open ye the gates,

that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,

whose mind is stayed on thee:

because he trusteth in thee.

Isaiah 26:2-3

Isaiah reminds us that peace is not found in circumstances but in the Intentionality of keeping our minds fixed on God. To “stay” the mind on Him means to anchor your thoughts, hopes, and focus in His truth rather than letting them drift with fear or distraction. In that steadfastness lies Hidden Manna—a perfect peace that nourishes and sustains the soul when the world feels unsettled. Intentional living calls for guarding what we dwell on, choosing faith over anxiety and trust over doubt. The open gates symbolize God’s welcome to those who live in truth, showing that peace and security are available for those who walk faithfully with Him. Trust becomes not only the foundation of peace but also the fuel for perseverance. Today, fix your mind on the Lord, and let His hidden provision keep you steady in perfect peace.
