Peacemaker: control our peace by ric gustafson
People cannot see our thoughts but they can see the results of them. If our peace is troubled, we will not live a peaceful life. Jesus wants us to be a maintainer of peace. Isaiah 26:3 says that if we keep our minds on the Lord, he will give us perfect and constant peace. Satan will try to give us his thoughts and we have a decision to make. We can either entertain those bad thoughts or replace them with God's thoughts. Satan is a liar and will try to make us believe his lies. One way that we can renew our minds is through God's Word.
When we get depressed, discouraged or angry, we need to examine our thoughts. Keeping good thoughts is a lifetime battle. Jesus wants us to fight the good fight of faith. We need to forget our past and focus on the future. We need to set our minds on things above and not on things on earth.
When we have godly thoughts God is pleased and our peace will be controlled.
