PERFECT PEACE

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. 

Peace comes from the word shalom.  Shalom means to be peace, complete, perfect, full, wholeness, health, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, and the absence of agitation or discord. Thus shalom is much more than the absence of war and conflict because it is the wholeness that the entire human race seeks. God takes delight in the shalom the wholeness, the total well-being of His children. In Isaiah 53:5 the chastisement of Jesus our Messiah suffered to bring us shalom. The angels understood at His birth that Jesus brings  peace as they called out, “Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

God must accomplish His word true as stated in Isaiah 55:11.  Perfect peace requires keeping your mind fixed on God and trusting God.  

Isaiah 55:11

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Prayer:  God You are Jehovah Shalom my God of peace. Thank You for giving me Your perfect peace.  Thank you for walking and talking with me as my mind is stayed on You.   Thank you for Your shalom peace that includes tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, and harmony.  Amen.
