Perfect Peace

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the L*rd forever, for the L*rd G*d is an everlasting rock.” Isaiah 26/3-4

The world tells us that we can get peace in so many different ways and maybe some of the ways allow us to have temporary peace. But G*d offers us perfect peace. It is a peace the reaches beyond our understanding, so that no matter what happens in our live, good or bad, we can still be at peace. No matter how much chaos there is or uncertainty, we can have peace if our mind is stayed on Him. He is our rock and he never changes. He is faithful and though he brings difficult things our way, He will always bring us through if we just trust in him. It sounds easy, but it can be very difficult when we are holding onto the control of our lives. I have had to learn this here. There is always a lot of uncertainty, but I found out that I can have perfect peace if my mind is stayed on Him and if it isn’t, there is usually a lot of pain and a struggle for control.

I read a quote that said “Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of G*d whatever the conflict my be.” On wikipedia it says “Peace is the result of resting in a relationship with G*d.” (taken from Naked Fruit’ by Elisa Morgan). This is the truth and I have experienced it firsthand. Have you?
