Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
We hear so much about peace these days - world peace, peace in the middle east, lasting peace. We hear statements such as, "help us to keep the peace." The truth of the matter is, the only place where there IS peace today is in the heart of the believer.
Peace is the exact opposite of strife, discord, and conflict. All we need to do is stop, look, and listen. We live in a world that is filled with discord, strife, and opposition. There world is not able bring the peace of mind it tries to offer. There is no pill prescribed by a doctor that can bring peace into someones life. It amazes me the number of people that try to fill there heart with peace, do so with drugs, alcohol, sex, and anything else they can get there hands on.
No one but the perfect God could provide the perfect peace that people are longing for today. Through the perfect sacrifice of Christ on the cross of Calvary, God provides perfect peace for all who will receive peace on the terms of the Gospel.
Don't try and fill yourself up with the cares and distractions of this world. Let God have his way in your life and then you can have the peace that you have been longing for.
