FINDING PERFECT PEACE IN A PERFECT STORM
His marriage was going through a massive storm. Financially, well, let’s just say he was living by faith. Did I mention that he had just buried a teenage daughter? But every time I met him, he was smiling from ear to ear. I was confused. I knew what he was going through. He wasn’t supposed to be smiling. If anything, he had the right to be bitter at the world. He was entitled, dare I say, to be angry at God. But he wasn’t. And that’s what baffled me.
The Secret to Perfect Peace
I just had to ask. And so I did. I wanted to know his secret, the secret to perfect peace in the midst of such turmoil.
His answer?
Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
#1 Have a Steadfast Mind
Perfect peace comes from a steadfast mind. A mind that is always focused on the ultimate and not the immediate. A mind that is concerned about the eternal outcome and not the temporary distractions.
A steadfast mind is focused on the immutable word of God.
