Perfect Peace
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” (Isaiah 26:3)
I was listening to Andrae Crouch sing his song, “Thou Wilt Keep Him in Perfect Peace” and it hit me again: the reason there is so much fear and worry and stress is because our mind is not stayed on Christ. When we see Him, we don’t see the uncertainty of life; we don’t feel the loneliness. How can we not have peace if we are looking at the Prince of peace?
You know, we long for Heaven, where there will be no more war, no more death, no more strife, and I’m with you there. I can’t wait to see Jesus in a place where everything is perfect. However, we have been placed on this earth for a reason, and it’s not merely to long for Heaven. We are here to make a difference and we have to start by being different. We should not be bothered by everything going on around us. Our eyes should be fixed higher so that we can challenge others to look higher. As we do that, we will experience that perfect peace that passes all understanding.
