Day 8: Steadfast Wait
WHAT are you thinking about right now? WHAT is overtaking your mind?
It could be what I just asked you
or it could be _________.
To think & To fix your mind
on
a something or a someone
will dictate how your day will start
& how your day will end,
depending on the WHAT or the WHO
that you are thinking about it.
But what if,
just what if
your mind & my mind
could be in a state
of
PERFECT PEACE?
A PEACE that
I can't produce
&
you can't produce,
because only
HE
can produce
PERFECT PEACE~
"You will keep in PERFECT PEACE
those whose minds are steadfast..." (Isaiah 26:3)
Having a STEADFAST mind~
"to lean upon or take hold of (in a favorable or unfavorable sense)
to rest self, set self, stand fast, to sustain." (Strongs)
To be
STEADFAST
about
GOD
WHO will keep
our minds in
PERFECT PEACE
when
You & I
keep our minds
TRUSTING IN HIM
& not in
this happening or this not happening~
just
IN GOD
while
HE
is doing HIS thing.
Because
what
HE is doing is always the best thing
for you & for I.
No matter how hard I try
&
No matter how hard you try
I can't & you can't
Keep our minds in PERFECT PEACE
So I ask again~
WHO or WHAT is overtaking your mind?
Because
WHOEVER or WHATEVER is overtaking
your mind
is WHAT or WHO you are "STEADFASTLY" thinking about
which is WHAT or WHO you are TRUSTING in.
Therefore,
let's
FAST
from thinking about
WHATEVER or WHOEVER you are STEADFASTLY thinking about
that is stealing
HIS PERFECT PEACE~
And instead
be
STEADFASTLY
TRUSTING IN HIM
because
"People with their minds set on YOU,
YOU keep completely whole,
Steady on their feet,
because they keep at it and don't quit."
(Isaiah 26:3-4, The Message)
And all it takes is to turn our hearts, minds and eyes from WHOMEVER & WHATEVER
and "TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS" (listen to the song below)
