We can have perfect peace, but the trick is to keep our mind stayed on Him who is the Prince of Peace. The issue is our mind often wonders, it strays off into stinking thinking. The “what if’s” scenarios play over and over in our heads. For every “yeah and amen” we hear a “yeah, but.” The “but’s” and “what if’s” become bigger if we don’t nip them in the bud. If we don’t stop them in their tracks. If we allow them to grow they soon drown out the word of truth in our hearts. They will rip up the seeds of faith planted in our spirits. That’s why we must renew our mind daily in the Word of God. That’s why we must allow our minds to be transformed by the Word. Jesus told his disciples: “peace I leave with you my peace I give unto you, not as the world gives give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid.”
He is telling us the same thing today. No matter what you have to face today in your life, release the “what if’s,” drop the “buts” and walk in perfect peace. Have an awesome day.
