The drama and the nonsense is the birds; I don\u2019t have the time nor the patience for it. Anybody with me this morning? So I ask myself how do I get God\u2019s perfect peace? The answer is simple\u2026.in the presence of God we will find His peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scripture tells us in Isaiah 26:3 that you will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You. So basically if we keep our minds on Christ and we trust in Him; we will have God\u2019s peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some folks may say well I keep my mind on Christ but trouble still finds me, I still have problems, I still face trials and tribulations, it still seems like nothing ever goes right for me. What do I do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well because we know that trouble will come but it doesn\u2019t come to stay, what we must do is pray and keep the faith. We must continue to seek God in these times and remember that God is the answer. Having that peace from God we realize that God is good and like the word says He can give us peace that surpasses all understanding. So you could literally be going through hell on earth but nothing fazes you because you are trusting on Christ and you remain steadfast and faithful and focus again on Christ verses the circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With God\u2019s perfect peace no matter what comes your way or what\u2019s going on in life, there is a certain calmness, a certain contentment where you know everything will be okay and you don\u2019t have to allow your emotions to get the best of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Friends that\u2019s what I am seeking. I know storms are going to come but I want to be in a place where no matter how hard the winds blow, I wont worry and won\u2019t have fear. During this season of listening I pray I will grow stronger in my faith and through trust, focusing, and meditating on His word I will remain in God\u2019s perfect peace even if I stumble. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaiah 25:4 says, For You have been strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever we need God can and God  is. Whatever we stand in need of, He can provide. If it is shelter, if it is strength, if it is shade, if it is healing, if it deliverance, ANYTHING WE NEED God\u2019s got it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"That&#039;s What I Believe\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8tS_SbvL68c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Compliments of YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaiah 26:12 says Lord, You will establish peace for us, for You have also done all our works in us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Lord have Your way in my life.
