He will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you

We all have idols and things that tend to take the place of God. Jeremiah 29:13 says, вЂњYou will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.вЂќ Reading the Word of God brings us life, light, peace, instruction, and much more that is needed to continue living with God. We are not able to have true peace as Jesus gave us because of our neglect. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit apart from me you can do nothing'вЂќ ( John 15:5). Jesus says that вЂњ'I am the vine you are the branches. As you prune a vine, you prune those that are not producing fruit. In John chapter 15, Jesus says that we are the branches, and He is the vine. I know that we all have been neglected in our lives at some point and it reflects in our relationships. You get distracted and may even let other things/people take a bigger role, which can lead to neglect.

Life is exciting with new relationships and the wonder of this new person has brought joy to you.Д«ut as time goes by, and the relationship isn't as exciting and new anymore, you may become accustomed to them being in your life. When you accepted Jesus Christ into your life, you were invested to get to know Him. Our relationships are important to us, and we invest much time in these relationships. And be thankful.вЂќ Therefore, how can we be in perfect peace if our minds are not focused on God? Let me tell you that whatever this world has a hold on you is nothing compared to the peace that God can bring if you let Him. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory ( Colossians 3:1-3).Д¬olossians 3:15 says to вЂњlet the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. This does not mean that our old selves will not try to overcome us, this means that our new lives are hidden in Christ and that we have peace because of Christ. When we gave our lives to Jesus Christ, we gave up our old self and old ways. With Jesus, we are made new ( 2 Corinthians 5:17). Even in the midst of a storm, peace is there if you keep your mind stayed on God. The realization that if they keep their minds focused on God, there would be peace that followed. They were praising God and were overjoyed for the victory. In Isaiah 26, God defeated the enemies of the land of Judah. Our peace lies with Jesus because He came and made us right with God again. How many times have we done something that produced fear, shame, guilt, and worry? Or even found ourselves in a circumstance that is out of our control? God knows that in this world that we won't have peace. Fear came over them, so they began to cover themselves, and God saw what they had done. When they ate the fruit, their eyes were вЂњopenвЂќ to realize that they were naked. In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve took upon themselves to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree that changed everything. You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You ( Isaiah 26:3).

He will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you
