Been thinking about this verse this evening. I think peace is something we all want in our lives and this verse tells us how we can have it - by having our minds "stayed" on God.
I looked up the word "stayed" and the dictionary said "to continue to be in a place or condition." Ummmhh Does my mind "continue" to be on God or do I let the troubles of life take my focus of Him? (I suppose I have to be honest!! haha)
So to be honest, I do let "life" get my focus at times.
If I have a problem what do I usually do? (Suppose you want me to be honest again!) Well, I "continue" on that problem. I think about it, I worry about it, I reason about it, my mind gets "stayed" on my problem and what is the result? I lose my peace because my mind is not "stayed" on what it should be stayed on - GOD!! The more I focus on God, the more I think about who He is, how great He is, how much he loves me, the more I trust him. The more peace I have!!
I thought this was a good verse to start the week on. Who knows what this week will bring, who knows what troubles and worries will knock on our door.But I know that I am going to work on my mind, on having it stayed on God and not on life. When I do my part, God does his and the natural result is peace! A peace way down, deep down in my heart:-)
