Perfect Peace

God will keep you in perfect peace if you keep your mind stayed on Him. That is one of those scriptures with promise. Or from our elementary school English days it's an "if/then" statement. Perfect peace. I have to admit that every day in my life is certainly not filled with perfect peace, but when I give my mind over to Christ, He does provide the peace. Today is a tough day for my youngest brother. He is conducting the funeral services for his mother in law, a great woman in Christ who passed from this life earlier in the week (see my post on life is precious). This is a difficult time for the family. While we know she is in a place of 24/7 worship of the King, we as humans also feel the loss of a loved one, friend, confidante, and warrior for the kingdom. But the perfect peace of God comes into being at just this time. Since we have a promise from God of peace, we can stand on His word and let Him order our steps while bringing comfort. Great peace have they who love His word and nothing shall offend them - Psalms. Walk in God's peace. It's a promise He left His children.
