We cannot ask God to bring our minds peace if we aren’t living in peace with each other. If we aren’t living in a way that is peaceful with our brothers and sisters, then we cannot expect to have peace of mind. Sometimes, peace of mind is something that we create for ourselves or even destroy for ourselves.
Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace and the God of love and peace shall be with you.” – 2 Corinthians 13:11 (KJV) It is essential and helpful to be spiritually minded when looking for peace of mind. Galatians 5:17 says, “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” Here in Romans 8:6, Paul takes it even further and tells us that to set your mind on the things of the flesh is death and evil, but to be spiritually minded brings peace. However, it begins a war between our flesh and our spirit. When we become Christians, Christ makes us into a new creation. “For to be carnally minded is death but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” – Romans 8:6 (KJV).God’s peace of mind is so great that we cannot even understand it. With God, through Christ Jesus, we can find a peace that surpasses all of our comprehension. It won’t be a godly kind of peace or one that truly satisfies or lasts. We may find peace in other things, but the peace we find will be fleeting. As we search for peace in other places in the world, it is possible to find bits of peace here and there. The true peace of God is one that surpasses anything that we could ever dream of. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:7 (KJV).
This ultimately is what brings us perfect peace in life as His followers. Focusing your mind on Him allows you to align yourself with His desires and with His plan for your life. Even while the world pulls your mind in every direction, stay focused on God. As this verse in Isaiah says, those who stay their minds on God will be kept in perfect peace by Him. The key to obtaining peace of mind is to focus your mind on God.
