Perfect Peace
Perfect peace
Scripture reading
Isaiah 26:3 NKJV
“You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.”
Beloved, there is perfect peace available for those whose minds are stayed on the Lord. God is the giver of peace, not as the world gives; but He gives perfect peace, which is able to keep us grounded amidst the turbulent waves of life.
All over the world, peace has always been a goal the world strives to achieve. Many are the efforts the world puts in to achieve peace among people, families, nations, organizations. Peace is the absence of war, a tranquility that leaves one free from disturbances or trouble. In this world, there are many circumstances and situations that can put us in anguish, worry, unrest and chaos. The world is complex and chaotic with many many troubles, but beloved, the good news is Our God is the giver of perfect peace.
The scripture says the one whose mind is stayed on the Lord will not only have access to perfect peace, but will be KEPT in this perfect peace. Beloved what good news this is! That as long as we settle our minds on the Lord, He will sustain us in perfect peace.
We must do everything we can to keep our minds on Him therefore. Our thoughts and mindsets must be renewed and also set on things above.
Brethren, what sustains your mind? What do you lay your mind upon? What is your mind established on? On what does your mind lean upon throughout the day?
If you can shift your focus from yourself, from the problems of this life and keep your mind on God, feeding and meditating on His word, you will be kept in perfect peace!!
Beloved, be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Feed on the Lord and His promises and He will keep you in perfect peace. Shalom!
