Perfect Peace

Really? Can there truly be "perfect peace"? It almost sounds to good to be true, doesn't it?! Nothing in this world is perfect- as humans, we have no concept of what that really means. But, a perfect peace really does exist- it is something supernatural...it's from God! Isaiah 26:3 says, "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in You." This is a promise from God's Word- a promise that you can count on with your life. No one and nothing in this world can give you this kind of peace- only your Heavenly Father. But, in order for this perfect peace to flood our minds, we have to keep our minds steadfast...focused on Jesus, stayed on Him...trusting Him. The word "trust" in this passage comes from the the Hebrew word, "batach", which means to attach oneself, to confide in, feel safe, be confident, secure. Think about it...if we attach ourselves to Christ and confide everything in Him, don't you think this would result in a God-kind of peace? Yes!! And, that's what He promises to us! So, put Your confidence and security in the Lord Jesus. Keep Your mind stayed on Him- focus on Him...and HE will be the one to give you that perfect peace this world so desperately desires.
