Where does your mind stay?
We are so fascinated by things of this world. We are so easily caught up in the happenings around us. Whether it be the news, entertainment, or the latest trends, our minds are constantly receiving information that does not edify us. We follow and lend our time to people who cannot save us and personalities who did not die for us.

Isaiah 26:3-4 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:”
Christ Jesus is our perfect peace. His peace is complete, and His peace is everlasting. We can have the peace of God within every situation we face.
Dear Friend, we do not need to understand; God does not expect us to understand. He only expects us to trust Him. No matter where you are in life, call upon Him. Trust and obey His Holy Word, because He will keep you.
Philippians 4:6-7 “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
