God's Peace
In the Old Testament book of Isaiah, we're given a strange promise in chapter 26, verse 3 - "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts you."
Now what does that mean in practical terms? How can we learn to trust God in such a way that no matter what happens, we won't lose our cool?
Well, it starts with knowing the Lord better - and knowing that he can be trusted. The major proof we have of that comes from what Jesus did for us on the cross - dying for our sins and rising again to give us new life. And as we spend time with the Lord in prayer and by reaching his Word, the better we'll understand and accept the perfect peace that only he can give.
