Unshakable Peace
There was an art contest with the theme of "Peace", the 2nd place award going to a BEAUTIFUL scenery in pastels in which you could almost feel the soft breeze and smell the fragrance of the blossoms and hear the chirping of the birds and low gurgle of the stream. It was only when viewing the GRAND PRIZE winner that it could be understood how that painting didn't win 1st place. That prize went to the following painting. It was a dark, ominous, violent scene of ocean waves crashing on rocks of an oceanside cliff. Looking closely, one could see a small branch sticking out of the cliff, a nest sitting on its end, a bird calmly perched there. This drawing showed a peace that COULD NOT BE SHAKEN by threatening surrounding circumstances. So it won.
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee." (Isa. 26:3)
