You will keep him in perfect peace,Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.~Isaiah 26:3
Peace, the security of well being. A blessed assurance that everything is going to be okay. It’s one thing the enemy is constantly seeking to rob us of. But God has promised us perfect peace if we keep our mind stayed on Him.
This means we avoid the trap of distractions that the devil sets up. Rather we set our thoughts and attitudes on the goodness of God. We cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ( 2 Corinthians 10:5).
We dispel the lies of of the enemy and look at things with a spiritual eye. And we trust God. We trust that even though our eyes may see trouble that God is already turning it for our good. We trust that God is with us. We trust in His unfailing love for us. We breathe in and out His goodness and cast every care upon Him ( 1 Peter5:7). This is how we receive peace. This is how we face the day.
Lord, I need your peace. Not what the works gives, but what only You can provide. So help me to rest and trust in You. Help me to remember that You are Sovereign and everything is in your control. You are God and You are mighty to save. There is nothing impossible for You. You hold me in the palm of your hand and I have no reason to fret. Thank You Jesus for your blessed assurance. In Jesus name. Amen
Peace that passes all understanding. There is nothing like it. When all hell is breaking loose, the believer can sit back and see God showing up and act in accordance. We understand that God is Sovereign and He has all Power and Authority in His hands. I am grateful for His Peace in the midst of this pandemic. HALLELUJAH.
