Victorious Journey with Coach Bre

Is peace possible?

As we observe what’s happening in our world right now, the question in the subject of this message is a compelling one!  Is peace possible?  I’m not an expert on world history and current events, so I can’t answer that question (I will say that I am watching what is going on around us, and I suggest you do as well).  I don’t believe anyone can predict whether peace is possible, but there is something regarding peace that we can control.  We can have peace within ourselves!

How do we maintain inner peace when there’s chaos around us?  Isaiah 26:3-4 says:

You will keep in perfect peace

    all who trust in you,

    all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

Trust in the Lord always,

    for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

(NLT)

So, where is your focus?  Is it on the One who is the eternal Rock?   When something is eternal, it lasts forever!  And a rock is “a firm foundation or support.” (Dictionary.com) The prophet Isaiah also says we are to “trust in the Lord always,” not just some of the time, but in all things and at all times (my interpretation)!

The things happening around and even to us can be disconcerting and unnerving.  But instead of being consumed with worry, I choose to do what this scripture says: keep my thoughts fixed on God and trust in Him.  This is an intentional choice we must make daily.  And as we trust, we can experience perfect peace, the peace that passes all understanding!

Which choice will you make today?
