Perfect Peace

Isaiah 26:3 NIV
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

It has often been said that there is no perfection on this side of eternity. Because we have become imperfect beings as a result  of the fall of man in the garden of Eden, nothing our lives produce can be perfect. We can only strive towards perfection as we live our lives from day to day. While that is true, let me introduce you to the One who is able to bring perfect harmony out of broken chords.

There's a God who can do what seems impossible for man. There's a God who is able to bring peace in the midst of war, light in the midst of the thickest darkness and hope in the midst of the most hopeless of situations. He alone can fulfil the promises made in the text above.

How do you get peace in a world going to pieces? How do you maintain equilibrum in a world gone haywire and imbalanced? How do you keep your head when all others are losing theirs? The answer is simple: let your heart and mind stay on God, the only true source of peace. Sounds odd, but the evidence abounds to this testimony. Ask Isaac who sowed in a land of  famine and in the same year of sowing reaped a hundredfold harvest. Ask the man who saw an iron axe-head float on water or Peter who actually walked on water. As many as can keep their minds stayed on God will have their lives produce such extraordinary breakthroughs.

If you desire peace, then stay connected. If you desire change, work with the God who can change the entire course of your life by just one intervention. His time of favour is here.
