“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on You, because they trust in You.” Isaiah 26:3
The scene
When storms begin to gather and my thoughts start running wild, You steady all my thinking like a parent calms a child. You hold my restless mind in a peace that flows like sea — shalom upon shalom, poured gently over me.
The shaking- the shalom
My mind leans hard on You when the world begins to shake. You keep me in a wholeness that no trouble ever breaks. Your care becomes the shelter where my inner fears agree that shalom upon shalom is where my trust will be.
You shape my inward frame when the pressure starts to rise. You quiet all the noise with a calm that never lies. Your presence is the keeper of the thoughts that bend the knee — shalom upon shalom, the peace that carries me.
Lexical Note Shalom shalom means wholeness in full degree; yetzer is the mind You shape intentionally; samakh is the leaning that trusts Your constancy — shalom upon shalom, the peace You give to me.
The drop
The Drop When my mind leans on You, You keep it whole and free. Shalom upon shalom — Your perfect peace in me.
Poetic Flash :Your doubled peace becomes my steadying decree — shalom upon shalom, the calm that keeps my sea.
