Scripture:
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” Isaiah 26:3 NLT
Observation:
Isaiah tells us that God will keep us in perfect peace when we trust Him and our thoughts are fixed on Him. Fixing our thoughts and trusting God are not as easy as they seem to be, but they produce incredible results for us.
Application:
We can’t work hard enough to have true peace. We can’t fight a battle in our mind for peace. Peace comes from learning to trust God and fixing our thoughts on Him. The more we trust God and fix our minds on Him, the more perfect peace we will have. Practically speaking, worship helps us focus our thoughts and fix them on the Lord. We must train our brain to focus more and more on the Lord and not on our situations.
Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, You are great and glorious! You are high and lifted up. Help me to trust You more and to fix my thoughts on You. Teach me to meditate on Your goodness and to trust Your leadership. Let me walk in Your peace as I pursue these things.
Yours,
Jeff
