You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You. – Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)
Peace is something we could all use from time to time. Our world seems to have no shortage of things to cause us to not be at peace.
Maybe things are tough right now at school, and you just wish something would change to help you be at peace. Perhaps things at home aren’t great, and it just seems like everywhere you turn you’re searching for peace.
The good news is that as children of God, we can live at peace. Today’s verse tells us that if we can keep our minds on God and trust Him, we can live in peace.
That’s often easier to say than to do. It’s easy to look at all the bad stuff going around and let the troubles of life bring you unrest. However, if you’ll spend more time in God’s presence, listening to a worship song, or reading your Bible, you’ll find it’s easier to be at peace.
So challenge yourself to practice peace today. Determine to be at peace in every situation and circumstance. Not because you don’t have trouble, but rather because you know God and trust Him to help you through.
