July 14, 2025 KEPT IN PERFECT PEACE
Isaiah 20:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trust in You.”
Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 2:2 “Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”
A lot of things calls for our attention. Our minds are working 24/7. Through our iPhones/laptops we have immediate access to world wide events, and that can certainly overload the mind and have adverse affects on our spirts and souls and rob us of peace. The good news is that there is a solution for this dilemma. When we are not experiencing peace, when we are discouraged, when we are anxious, and when we are fearful, one thing is evident-our trust in God is broken. There is a certain peace that comes when everything is rosy (I thought you spelled it ‘rosey.) and going our way-that peace is based on circumstances. The peace that comes as a result of trusting God is not dependent on circumstances. Just about everyone says that they are ‘trusting God;’ we are talking about a genuine trust in God no matter the circumstances. Back to the mind. The key word in Isaiah 20:3 is ‘stayed.’ To have our mind ‘stayed’ on God is to have as a bedrock our belief and our trust in God; it is to believe from the deepest part of our being that God is supreme and that everything about our lives revolves around Him. Trust is defined as “Assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something.” We cannot bring about peace on own accord; peace comes and our souls and spirits and our minds find rest and peace when our trust is in God in all circumstances. Sometimes, maybe often, things happen that we do not like; sometimes we experience pain, hurt and disappointments; and sometimes we suffer a wrong done to us; but even so, we can have peace. This peace of God ‘surpasses all understanding;’ we just cannot explain in. When everything is telling us to worry and fret, His peace rules. The word for us is to have our minds stayed on Him and to set our minds on things above. Those who do not know God do not have access to the peace of God; but we are blessed in that we do have access to the peace of God-and that access is to have our genuine trust in God.
2 Thessalonians 3:16 “Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.”
