'A Christian should
keep his mind in the peace of God at all times. “Thou dost keep him in perfect
peace,” noted Isaiah, “whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee”
(26.3). A restless brain is a disturbed brain that is harmful both to spiritual
life and to spiritual service. It has led many into numerous errors. An
unpeaceful mind cannot operate normally. Hence the Apostle teaches us to “have
no anxiety about anything” (Phil. 4.6). Deliver all anxious thoughts to God as
soon as they arise. Let the peace of God maintain your heart and mind (v.7).
But Paul also exhorts us to put our heads to work and not just let them
lie fallow: “brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is
just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is
any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things” (v.8).' The
Spiritual Man - by Watchman Nee
Isa 26:3 Thou
wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he
trusteth in thee.
Php 4:6 Be
careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Php 4:7 And
the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.
Php 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if
there be any praise, think on these things.
