Longing for tranquility?

Many of us long for peace.

Some of us want peace medically – health for us and our families.

Some of us want quiet in our schedule – less running and more being.

Others want calm in our relationships – more understanding and less unrest

Still others want peace in our hearts – less unease and restlessness

Scripture and Peace

The verse I read today comes from Isaiah (26:3). In it, he gives us a short recipe for peace in our souls. While there are plenty of other Biblical tips for this topic, today I’m going to focus on Isaiah’s.

First, the quietude he’s discussing comes from the Hebrew that means “peace, peace” or “perfect peace.” It’s one that is complete or sound.

Second, According to Isaiah, we find that total tranquility by:

• Keeping our minds steadfast – we do this when we rest our mind, or our thoughts, on God. Paul tells us how to do this in Philippians 4:8 when he tells us how to train our minds.
• Trusting in God – Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust God with all our heart. Not part of it. Not just the issues we struggle with. ALL our heart.

This verse means that we find that complete calm we all long for by focusing our thoughts on things that are true, noble, righteous, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, praiseworthy and trusting God with everything on our hearts.
