Isaiah 26:3 – Perfect peace or the lack thereof

Isaiah 26:3 says:

You will keep in perfect peace
him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you. (NIV)

If I am steadfast in looking to God for my support and trusting in his goodness and mercy, I will be in perfect peace.

What does this say about the times when I am not in perfect peace? It says that when I am not in perfect peace, it is because my focus is in the wrong place.

Like Peter walking on the water, I’m OK when my eyes are fixed on Jesus. When I look at my circumstances or look to other people to validate how I am doing, my peace evaporates.

Peace is always available. If I don’t have peace, it is because I am not choosing well.
