It’s tough when the harmony and serenity of life is disturbed. Too many times we attempt to remedy the issue with medication, which might provide sleep and detachment, but can never provide real peace and rest. The prescription for real peace is found in God’s word.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” Isaiah 26:3 (KJV). The Hebrew meaning conveys an undisturbed, perfect peace. That is, the mind that has confidence in God will not be agitated by trials, persecution, poverty, sickness, want, or bereavement.
“Whose mind is stayed on thee” denotes anything that is formed by the mind, its thoughts, imaginations, or devices. It could mean the thoughts themselves, or the mind that forms the thoughts.
Regardless how severe the disruption of peace you might be experiencing, refocus your mind on the Lord. Whatever captures your attention always gets larger. Should trouble arrest your attention, trouble will escalate. On the other hand, when God apprehends your concentration, God gets superior.
Refuse to allow your confidence in God to be shaken. Trust Him, believe He will deliver, and then you are blessed with RESTORED PEACE.
