You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. (Isaiah 26:3)
Perfection is defined as being free from flaws or defects. Although, each individual will have their own definition of what constitutes a flaw or defect. Therefore, perfection is subjective and can be viewed through a “social, moral, cultural, personal standards, and world-view” lense. Thus, perfect peace may mean something different for each Christian, but what we may all agree on is that despite things not being ok, we are at peace. It is a peace that passes all understanding. Charles Spurgeon spoke it beautifully: “But when the cares of this world come rushin in, helter-skelter - not only one thing but twenty other things, all claiming to be done at once - then is the anxious soul apt to be disquieted. We are first wearied and then worried. To be perfectly at peace amid the hurry-burly of invading cares is a very blessed condition of soul - and the only way to reach it is described in the next line of the human, To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.” Regardless of how we define peace, we know we have peace when our thoughts and actions align with the Word of God. Stop Worrying - Rest! GiGi❤️
