The Peace of God - Part 5

Jesus said it plainly in John 16:33 — In this world you will have tribulation, be of good cheer (be over bold), because He has overcome the world. That means the peace He left us (John 14:27) is greater than anything coming against us. Isaiah 26:3 reminds us that God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him. The key is renewing your mind (Romans 12:2). Philippians 4:6-9 calls us to pray with thanksgiving, fix our thoughts on what is true and praiseworthy, and trust that God's peace will guard our hearts and minds. You can choose where your mind goes — and that choice changes everything. Your victory is on the other side of your perseverance. Do not quit.
