Title: Calm Your Mind! (Peace)
Today’s focus word is ‘Peace’.
The one which is easily in short supply is peace. I often get prayer requests for peace.
Isa 26.3 is our focus verse for today and it says, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”
Declaration: The peace of God guards my heart and mind today; I live in supernatural calm and confidence.
Points for Peace include:
1. Perfect peace comes from trust in God
A very powerful formula. When we trust in God, our heart becomes peaceful. For illustration purposes, when in a difficult situation and someone says, ‘God will take care of it,’ you would feel relieved, provided you believe. Isaiah teaches that peace is connected to trust in God. When the heart rests in God’s faithfulness, anxiety loses its power, its grip. The God who called you is faithful! Declare it.
Peace does not come from perfect circumstances. It doesn’t come once your family relations; finances are set right. My peace comes from placing my trust in God!
God is seated on His throne; my mind be at peace.
He has taken up my cause – my mind be at peace.
No matter how turbulent my situation is – my mind be at peace.
Ps 56. 3 - 4 says, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you …..”
Pro 3. 5 - 6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart ….”
Jn 14.27 says, “Peace I leave with your; my peace I give you ….”
Peace is unique in that it can be given. We can become peace givers and peace makers. Before leaving this world, Jesus gave His peace to his disciples - My peace, my tranquility, I leave it with you.
Trust anchors the heart in God’s stability. He does not have mood swings. A sleeping babe wakes up crying but can be pacified. Kid’s moods change rapidly. They cry, laugh etc. As they mature, they become more stable. But the nature of God is unchanging – the immutability of God.
2. Peace requires a steadfast mind
A person who has mental stability, depends on the Lord and God will care for him wholeheartedly. We need to develop mental stability; a steadfast mind. We need to focus our minds on Jesus if we are to have peace. If we keep brooding about our troubles, we cannot have peace.
Col 3.2 says, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
Phil 4.8 reminds us to think about what is true, noble, admirable. The verse states 8 thoughts to pursue.
Rm 8.6 says, “…… the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” A steady mind strengthens inner peace.
3. Peace guards the heart
God’s peace protects the inner life from fear, stress, turmoil etc. Peace acts as a guard that preserves emotional and spiritual stability.
Phil 4.7 says, “And the peace of God ……… will guard your hearts and your minds….”
Ps 29.11 says, “…. the Lord blesses His people with peace.”
Declare – I receive Godly peace. The Lord left His peace for me and I activate it now.
Jn16.33 says, “……. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Some translations talk of tribulation.
Don’t consider it a simple statement. Our God has won victory over everything in this world. Having Godly peace does not mean that you no longer have any challenges or problems. God’s peace does not remove every challenge but strengthens us to face them. Just because we have Godly peace does not mean that we won’t have any challenges or problems; rather it strengthens us to face them. An illustration would be a city wall that protects the city from all attacks. Similarly, God’s peace acts like a wall around our hearts protecting it from overwhelming pressures. Heart attacks, cardiac arrests or heart failures originate from stress, tensions, worry.
4. Peace becomes a witness to others
Our inner peace becomes a testimony to others or in other words, a peaceful life becomes a testimony to those around us. When believers remain calm and trusting during difficult situations many non-believers ask believers how they are able to remain cheerful or sleep soundly amidst their problems.
The righteous face many troubles. But God delivers them from it all. That’s why there is the sound of victory and celebration in the tent of the righteous. Our inner peace testifies the presence of the Lord in our lives to others. That’s why we don’t panic.
Rm 12.18 says, “……. As far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”
Heb 12. 14 reminds us to make every effort to live in peace with all people.
Mt. 5.9 says, “Blessed are the peace makers…… “means peace needs to be created by peace makers. It does not happen on its own. Don’t be a peace breaker.
Peace spreads through relationships and communities. Peace can be given or imparted to others around. That’s why Jesus instructed his disciples to declare – “Peace be with you!” wherever they went. ‘The peace that I have I share it with you; the peace that the Lord himself gave me.’
There is a saying that goes, ‘A calm lake reflects the sky clearly.’ Similarly, a peaceful heart reflects the presence of God to others.
What is your level of peace? Are you able to sleep at night?
Let’s pray!
