"You will keep IN PERFECT PEACE all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you."
Tell the truth, there are times when you yell out, or scream. There are times when you may use salty language. There are times when you feel like your life is crazy. You may feel like the harder you run to catch up, the farther you get behind. Are there times when you have hatred or anger? Is cursing and bad behavior a part of your life that you want to hide and want to end? Does the thought of perfect peace sound pretty good to you? Then the One Truth Today is what you need to hear and then put into action. It is possible to have peace, not just some times, but at all times. It is possible in this evil and hectic world to have perfect peace. The Word tells us how!
There is only one way to have perfect peace in this world and the world to come. The thing you need first is to have the Lord in your life. The Lord is the only perfect thing that has occurred in this world. Without God there is no peace. Man is incapable of obtaining peace apart from the Lord. You must have a relationship that is based on complete trust in God. The angels declared at the birth of Jesus Christ that He would bring peace on earth to men in God's will!
Are you in God's will? Is Jesus Christ your Lord and your God? Do you have a steadfast mind that is fixed on God and His Word? Do you Trust the Lord?
There is one final component of this scripture that is so important if you want perfect peace in your life. Are your thoughts fixed on the Lord. Do you remember to only think about things that are true, honest and just? Do you keep your mind on things that are pure, lovely and of good report? Do you think about things that are praiseworthy, virtuous and are positive? If you think on these things with an emphasis on what will bless the Lord, then you can honestly say that your thoughts are fixed on the Lord. In that we can only think of one thing at a time then you will avoid thoughts of evil and what will have a negative effect on your life. As a man thinks in his heart, that is what he will be. If you want perfect peace then you need to trust the Lord and keep your thoughts fixed on Him and His Word!
