If you could wish for anything and it would happen would you desire peace? Most people would. We all want peace in our lives, homes, and world. And this peace is available for us today. Even in the midst of turmoil and pain you can have perfect peace. How? Well probably not how you would think. In fact, your thinking has more to do with your peace than you could ever imagine. God is in perfect peace and you can experience this when you question your faith with three specific thoughts.
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
Isaiah 26:3
Samuch yetzer tizor shalom shalom ki batuach
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened
Romans 1:21
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 Corinthians 10:5
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen.
Hebrews 11:1
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:14-16
1) Does this thought bring stress or calm?
2)Who would I be without this thought?
3)How do I imagine God’s best in this situation?
God is always at perfect peace and we can experience this peace when our imagination overlaps His.
Isaiah 26:3
