Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) 3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
Perfect peace! Praise God.
How many of us want this peace?
It’s all about focusing our mind; on who?
On Christ!
Not on the things of the world, but on Him, the One who overcame the world.
John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
That’s right; learning to keep our mind in the right place will help us find that perfect peace. And let me tell you it is worth every bit of the effort required in this fight.
Be forewarned; this is easier said than done.
Why? Because your mind has a will of its own.
It likes to do what it wants, when it wants, and how it wants. Our mind likes doing its own thing!
We must discipline it to be in that place it needs to be at all times of the day and night.
It takes work, and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew it. He will help us!
Romans 12:2 says we must renew the mind.
How do we renew our mind?
By letting the Word of God penetrate our hearts, allowing God to bring revelation and understanding to us. This brings the transformation, shaping us into the person that Christ would have us to be.
In Philippians 4:8 we are instructed to keep our minds on the things that our true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report and anything praiseworthy.
This is another area that is a constant battle because, as we all know, the world is full of all the opposite and it can be very heavy at times.
So, just a little reminder; stay focused on Christ no matter what we hear or see going on around us. Keep nothing but good in our minds.
Be still and know that He is God, and bask in His peace! Amen.
Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
Amen.
