“3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.”
Do you have peace in your life today? One thing to remember is that when Adam sinned in the garden of Eden he brought a great curse into the world. That curse is called sin! It’s easy to think that once your saved there will not be tragic and hard times in life, but sin is still ruling this world. Every day someone, somewhere, is dealing with a difficult situation in their life, whether it be losing a loved one, battling cancer, losing a job, backslidden children, persecution for the name of Christ, or any other difficult situation. I Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” The devil is always at work, he’s always trying to figure out a way to derail you in your walk for Christ. Again, do you have peace in your life today? Could it be that your mind is not stayed upon the Lord? The word stayed simply means fixed. A life change happens sometimes in a good way and sometimes in a bad way, but we quickly get angry at God because of the situations that arise in our lives. Jesus Christ didn’t die for us so we could be angry, He died for us to have victory. First for eternal life, but second, to have peace in this world. God already knows what will happen today, He knows what will happen tomorrow. You will need Him to deal with difficult situations! Is your mind fixed upon him? Don’t serve Him based off of circumstances, I John 4:19 “We love him, because he first loved us.” How is your walk with Christ today? If your mind is fixed upon Him, you can make it through any situation. Trust God in everything you do, serve Him and love Him with all your heart. The devil’s desire is to destroy you. Stay faithful in church, stay faithful to soul-winning, stay faithful to pass out tracts, Bible reading and your prayer life. You may say I am not doing these things. Don’t allow your self will and worldly influence destroy you. God is faithful! Keep your mind focused on Him!
