Constant peace



“You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind is stayed on You because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.” 

Isaiah 26:3


When we fall out of peace, I can guarantee it is because we are focusing on our problems (fears, worries, woes, and the like) more than we are focusing on God.  Again, I can guarantee it!  Therefore, no matter how impossible a situation may seem, however big the problem may be, turn the focus on God and take it off of the problem at hand.  We must remember that our problems are miniscule in the eyes of God, as a matter of fact; I truly believe that He lets us go through problems so that we can live the blessings that will come from them.

So, boldly embrace your problems, accept them as they are, acknowledge your feelings, and then graciously, confidently, and with hope and thanksgiving, hand them over to God, (feelings, problems, and all; the moment you do, God’s glory will begin to surround you, flow through you, and give you the perfect and constant peace that is talked about in the verse above.
