Is a situation stealing your peace today? You find yourself constantly replaying conversations or possible outcomes and the thoughts have become a moment by moment battle that is all-consuming... Your physical, emotional, and mentally energy is drained with worry or trying to "solve" it. There is only one way to true and lasting peace, to the stillness that breaks through the weeds of the mind. We must fix our gaze on Christ. To 'set' or 'fix' your gaze is to take the mind and consciously place it ON him. Like setting a book on a bookshelf. This means to fix our thoughts on who Jesus is, how good Jesus is, and the wonderful things Jesus has done for us by his shed blood.
This daily, hourly, minute-by-minute choice is an act of trust. It is letting God deal with the situation instead of holding it so tightly. When we do this, his perfect peace comes. This is the guaranteed outcome when we fix our gaze on Jesus. This is the lasting peace that he has promised to us!
