Many times you face situations that get your head spinning and your stomach tied up in knots. How do you get out of this turmoil? God gives an answer in Isaiah 26:3-4, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee."
The answer is to STAY your mind upon the Lord. IMMOVABLE! UNWAVERING! That's easier said than done. Your thoughts quickly go back to your problem and you begin to worry again. We must learn to get into the habit of STAYING our minds upon the Lord, leaning upon Him and His promises, and trusting Him. The NLT says that peace comes to those whose "thoughts are FIXED" on the Lord.
FIXED means fixed, not swaying back and forth. Not giving the problem to the Lord and taking it back again. Leave it with the Lord. He can handle it far better than you. When you keep your mind and confession upon the Lord, He keeps you in perfect peace. The word in Hebrew is plural. It means "double peace, or peace-peace."
Le's read the rest of the Scripture, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he TRUSTS in thee. Trust ye in the lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is EVERLASTING STRENGTH."
