FIXING my THOUGHTS

“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” Isaiah 26:3

It's super easy to say that we "trust" in God. Especially if we don’t think about… in our spiritual circles, statements like, “I trust God” or “you just need to trust God” seem to easily flow off our tongue ... but does it truly define our lives? Do we REALLY trust God?

I’m asking this question daily!!

So, let’s dig a little bit into the words I shared from the Prophet Isaiah (at the top). What IF we measure our "trust" by the level of our "peace" -- and, not just any peace -- but, "perfect peace!"

Are we experiencing it?

“C’mon, Chilly, there’s no way we can have “perfect” peace.”
What IF we can?!

What I'm learning is that "trust" doesn't become “TRUST” until it begins to consume our "thoughts." YES! We must have our thoughts completely FOCUSED and FIXED on God!

Obviously, this doesn’t happen automatically or easily. It requires desire, discipline and devotion. But, wow, when it happens, it’s so encouraging and worth the effort. And, the Holy Spirit, who knows our hearts & intentions, will help us get there!

So, now I’m finding that when my trust in God consumes my thoughts; His perfect peace becomes my reality! -- no matter how great the storm (conflict, confusion, etc) we find ourselves living in.

Let’s look at how these words from Isaiah continue:

"Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock." Isaiah 26:4 -- SOLID!

Fixing my Thoughts and Finding my Peace,
