Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV) 3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
Our mind is the hardest thing to control; it wants to be free to do whatever it pleases. And believe me, it can be strong when it is pushing for what it wants.
Keeping our mind stayed means we are keeping it fixed on, supported by, anchored in, or continuously focused on God. This takes work and great effort on our part.
We may say within our heart that we want to serve and obey God, and really mean it. But if we don’t force our mind to submit and follow suit, will it do that? No. It will do what it thinks is right for that moment versus listening to what God is saying to our hearts.
We must choose to make our minds follow God. We have full control over keeping our minds stayed on Him!
Even when our mind is pushing us to go in the opposite direction of what our heart knows to do, it is up to us to make it obey.
Do we want perfect peace in our life today? Where is our mind right now? Is it following God and trusting in Him, or is it doing its own thing?
We have the control in our hands. Let’s make it happen.
Keep it stayed on Him!
