"You will keep IN PERFECT PEACE all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!"
If we tell the truth there are times when we yell or scream out in anger. There are times when we may use salty language. There are times when you feel your life is just crazy. The harder you try, the further behind you get. We may curse or have hatred or exhibit bad behavior that we regret and want to eliminate from our lives. The thought of our One Truth Today is very appealing to say the least. The idea that we can be IN PERFECT PEACE even though we are in and on the earth is something that sounds pretty good. The formula is laid out in this scripture. Do you trust Jesus Christ the Lord God? Are your thoughts fixed on the Lord and do you seek Him first in all that you do? It is possible to have peace at all times even in this evil and hectic world. The Word of God has the answer if we can just hear and understand it!
There is only one way to have perfect peace in this world and the world to come. The first thing is that you have to have the Lord first in everything that you say and do. The more we become like Jesus Christ the more we become like His perfection. In fact, without the Lord there is and will be no Peace. Man is incapable of obtaining peace apart from the Lord. The more you trust and know God the more peace you will have. As the angel's said at the birth of Christ, "peace on earth to men in God's will". Are you in God's will? Is Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior?
Do you have a steadfast mind that is fixed on the Lord and His Word? Do you Trust God?
You can be IN PERFECT PEACE!
There is one final component of this scripture that is of vital importance if you want perfect peace in your life. Do you remember to only think about things that are honest, just and true?
Do you keep your mind on things that are lovely, pure and of good report? Do you think about things that are praiseworthy, virtuous and Godly? God wants us to think on these things! He will bless you if you can honestly say that your thoughts are fixed on the Lord. We can only think of one thing at at time and we are in control of our own thoughts. Avoid thoughts of evil and negative things. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he! If you want to live IN PERFECT PEACE, keep your thoughts fixed on God, and trust in Him!
