Perfect Peace

Isaiah 26:3

Our mind is often a battleground for the issues of our heart.  Thoughts of insecurity and anxiety can come uninvited.  Situations that cause stress and relationships that are in conflict can rob us of our peace.  Beyond this, insecurities and poor self-image can bring thoughts that tear us down and produce unhealthy feelings and thoughts.

God is not a god of confusion, doubt, fear, or insecurity.  He is a god of peace.  Our peace must come from Him.  As we re-focus our thoughts away from the things around us and the events of the world, and towards God, His peace begins to reign in our hearts.  Through Jesus, all of God’s peace, comfort and His great power, are graciously poured out on us.  Thinking about who God is, and how great He is, brings peace in every area because it tells us about ourselves.  As sons and daughters of God, those who have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ, we are defined by who God is.  We have peace because we the Prince of Peace lives in us.  We are righteous and good because the blood of Jesus has made us so.  We can be secure in every situation because God is for us, not against us.
​
As we focus on God, the things of the world fade away, and the issues around us can no longer rob us of our peace.  Thinking on God also transforms our self-image into a realization of who we are in Christ Jesus.  It is this realization that washes away the insecurities that may be lodged in our hearts, and heals the trauma of past experiences.  Today, may you fix your eyes on God, and may the God of all comfort guard your heart and mind in Jesus Christ!
