Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) 3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
Who will He keep in perfect peace? Those whose mind is stayed on Him!
In other words, those who don’t get distracted by the problems in front of them. Those who keep their eyes and heart fixed on Him.
Our trust in Him is needed if we want His peace.
Some say, “I’m not at peace with what is going on around me”. God says, keep your mind on Me.
Some say, “I’m not at peace with myself”. God says, keep your mind on Me.
Some say, “my family is all messed up. I don’t know how to handle it, and I’m going nuts trying to pull it together”. God says, keep your mind on Me.
Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
There are a lot of people right now who have lost the peace that surpasses all understanding. Why?
Because their mind and heart are not on the Lord, but rather on the problems before them.
Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way.
Our minds have to be fixed on Him if we want His peace to work in our lives and help us to make the right decisions.
If we’ve left Him behind, we need to get back to Him.
Because If we left Him behind then we were not trusting Him. We were trusting ourselves.
There is never going to be His peace in that.
