Peace That Goes Beyond Your Understanding

“You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.” Perfect peace can only come from God. Jesus is the Prince of peace who understands our struggles. He walked the earth with God’s perfect peace as a man without His deity. In other words He didn’t use the power He had in heaven, His heavenly status was stripped away to conform to mankind’s make-up, yet without the sin nature like we were born into. God will guard us and keep us in perfect peace once our mind is stayed on Him. Being steadfast in our minds with both its inclination and its character locked in place brings change. You must go after this peace, if you want it, like a bull dog on a bone, tenaciously, with a relentless state of mind until you get it. As we put and keep our minds on the Lord, peace is automatically transmitted to our hearts and souls which will cause our bodies to experience less stress in it. (Joshua 1:8) Meditate in God’s word (the bible) night and day and you’ll get more than just peace in your life. God will keep us in perfect peace, that’s a promise. But discipline and perseverance are required of us to manifest His peace in our lives.
