Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.”‭‭

When we keep our focus on God, instead of the distractions of the world, God promised to keep us in perfect peace. We see this acted out in Matthew 14:28-30 when Peter walked on water. As long as Peter was focused on Jesus, he was at peace, doing the impossible, in the midst of a troubling situation. As soon as Peter took his mind and focus off of Jesus, he began to look at the trouble surrounding him, forfeiting his peace, and slowly started sinking.

If we keep our mind focused on the dangers of the world, the financial crises, and provision instead of Him, we too will forfeit our peace and sink. As tempting as it is to focus on the things outside of God, let’s maintain our peace and focus on the finished works of Jesus.

Matthew 14:28 Peter replied to Him, “Lord, if it is [really] You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 He said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw [the effects of] the wind, he was frightened, and he began to sink, and he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
