Make peace your default setting. Let the peace of God rule in your hearts… Colossians 3:15.
Mental health is a hot topic in society today. I believe the scriptures give an indication of how to achieve lasting mental heath. Isaiah 26:3 tells us that God will keep us in perfect peace. Can imagine that! To be able not only to experience peace, but perfect peace. But here’s the qualifier. We’ll have to keep our minds on Him. How do we keep our minds in God? By keeping our minds locked in on what He said. Locked in on what He said about the problem or situation that you currently find yourself in. The peace of God in any situation of life is at your disposal.
The Peace of God ruling and reigning over our hearts and minds gives us the courage to face any adversity in life. But how is such peace obtained? The key to experiencing the Peace of God is anchoring our minds on God and what He has spoken to us in His Word to us…the Bible. According to Isaiah 26:3-4, the result of tethering our minds to God’s Word is called “Perfect Peace“.
