Is Your Peace – Manna by Dorothy Callies
Isaiah 26:3 “You,
Lord, give true peace to those who depend on You, because they trust you” (NCV).
Isa. 26:12 “Lord, all our success is because what You have done, so give us
peace” (NCV).
We can never avoid
strife in the world around us, but when we fix our thoughts on God, we can know
perfect peace even in turmoil (very confused or disturbed state or condition).
As we focus our mind on God and his Word, we become steady and stable. Supported
by God’s unchanging love and mighty power, we are not shaken by the surround
chaos (complete confusion). Do you want peace? Keep your thoughts on God and
your trust in Him. See Phil.4:6-7. [Note from QVLAB]
Philippians 4:6-7 “Do
not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always
giving thanks. And God’s peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will
keep your hearts and mind in Christ Jesus” (NCV).
As the trying and
stressful days of the end of history occur, God will keep in perfect peace the
remnant who remain steadfast and faithful to their Lord. In times of trouble we
must continually strive to keep our minds turned to the Lord in prayer, trust,
and hope. We must place our trust in him because He is a Rock who endures
forever (v.4); He is a sure and firm foundation. [Note from Full Life Study Bible]
Is. 26:4 “So, trust the Lord always, because He is our Rock forever” (NCV).
The best way
to do is to “Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking, because you
were all called together in one body to have peace. Always be thankful
(Col.3:15 ncv). And let the word of Jesus tell you: “I leave you peace; My
peace I give you. I do not give it you as the world does. So don’t let your
hearts be troubled or afraid (Jn.14:27 ncv).
Song: Perfect Peace
Perfect peace, they
shall have that loves the Lord …
Perfect peace, they
shall have that loves Me …
They shall know …
that in My word,
No harm will come to
thee …
Perfect peace, they
shall have that loves the Lord …
(Collection of
memory)
