Peace for the Steadfast

Scripture:

Isaiah 26:3  "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You".

Observation:

Isaiah declares that God will keep people in perfect peace whose minds are steadfast because of their trust in God.  When people trust fully and completely on God, they can have perfect peace.  Their minds will be steadfast because they won't be stressed out over what is happening to them.  They will be focused on God, who is able to conquer every problem.

Application:

Our job in this is to keep our minds steadfast by trusting in God.  He is the one who is able to defeat every enemy and fix every problem that rises up in our lives.  He should be our focal point.  As we fix our minds on Him, peace will come.  One of the fruits of the Spirit is peace.  When the Spirit of God is really working in our lives, we will experience perfect peace.

Prayer:

Father, let me walk in perfect peace today because my mind is steadfastly fixed on You.  Help me to accomplish your will today.  Help me walk through the stressful time I'm in with confidence in my God.

Yours Forever,
Jeff
