Overcoming Worry Series - God's Peace

There is no greater blessing from God than the promise of His peace. To be content with life and all that we encounter is such a wonderful existence. The opposite of this of course, is to be overwhelmed with worry. Rather than being relaxed, we are on edge, rather than feeling an inner calm, we are overcome with butterflies invading our stomachs. So it's easy to see why we much prefer living in a state of peace. In Isaiah we read that if our eyes are on God and we trust Him, then we are blessed with perfect peace. Perfect meaning complete, not lacking in anyway. So God is able to bless us with a peace that is beyond all human understanding, a depth of calm and contentment that only He can provide. Overcoming worry means we are to look to God and trust Him, for then we are kept in perfect peace. You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal. Isaiah 26:3-4
