You can be in peace in the middle of whatever storm life throws at you. This is totally contrary to the world’s understanding where our outward circumstances determine our inward peace.
Yet peace is one of the many gifts God makes available to us in Christ. It’s important to remember that walking in God’s perfect peace is not automatic. Like everything else in our walk with Jesus, we receive it by faith.
The key is to keep your focus on God, because He truly is bigger than any storm. Peter was able to walk on the waves in the midst of the storm as long as he focused on Jesus. But when his focus shifted onto the raging sea he began to sink.
Make God the center of your attention. Keep your focus on Him. Walk in perfect peace.
Then you will pass through any storm in perfect peace.
You will keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on You,
because he trusts in You. — Isaiah 26:3 (MEV)
