His Perfect Peace

'Most of our life's perplexities arise when we are not able to understand the way God works or the things God allows in life' states Rev. Selwyn Hughes. How true this is when we each one of us reflect and see the reasons behind our tensions or anxiety.

How can we avoid unnecessary perplexities from rising in our hearts or bothering our minds? The Word of God offers a simple solution which however is difficult for many of us to implement it in our lives.

Isa 26:3 (NLT)
You will keep in perfect peace,
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

Perfect peace comes when we learn to trust that God knows what He is doing and He is working things for our good, though we may not be able to appreciate or understand the current events or happenings. As long as our thoughts are fixed on Him and we learn to acknowledge ourselves saying, "I know that my God is working all things for my good and I have left my worries into His hands", we cannot have that peace...
