The Renewed Mind - By Pat Stanton - Part 3


...perfect peace to our hearts and minds.

Isaiah 26:3 says, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee:  because he trusteth in thee," expresses to us that it is possible to have perfect peace at all times.  There is a key to this great blessing - our minds must be totally controlled and motivated by the Lord.  Our talents, desires and creative ambitions must be yielded to His desires and designs.

 

Jesus has already bought our liberty by His death.  Colossians 1:13,14  tells us, "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:  in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins."  This clearly indicates that we do not have to live in the bondage of darkness, but that we can and should be free and in the light, especially as far as our minds are concerned.  Praise Him for this precious provision and for this expression of His beauty and love.
