It is sad when peace becomes fragile.  For instance, some can lose their peace if you fail to like their selfie on social media.

Some have no idea what it is like to have peace.  They are at odds with others and themselves due to insisting that everything going their way without any regard for anyone else.

For others, peace might be hanging by a frayed thin thread because their peace can only be determined and kept by everything going exactly how they hoped it would.

Life comes at you fast; sometimes, you look up, and it is driving in your lane, looking down at a phone about to hit you head-on.

Despite the odds against any hope of knowing an abiding peace, some have discovered a peace that abides no matter what might be happening and are enjoying it immensely.

How can someone know peace in all situations?

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You.

The essence of this passage is not about trust in God making things turn out the way I want them to.  It is much more to do with my trusting God to be for me and with me regardless of what I am experiencing in the now.

This is speaking of the kind of peace I can know and have deeply at work in me the more I know Him and become familiar with His character and nature.

I believe it is what is at the heart cry of a very persecuted Apostle of Jesus in the Bible named Paul.  Near the end of his life, we find Paul declaring,

Philippians 3:7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

God, the Father, has sent His Beloved Son to demonstrate His love and goodness and offer us the way of life and peace with Him.  He has made the way to truly know Him obtainable by grace through faith in Jesus.

There is no lasting peace for the mind that is focused on itself.  You cannot know abiding peace by trying to figure yourself out.  Abiding, deep peace comes with the discovery of Him, leading to a deeper trust in Him.

Like the Psalmist declares in Psalms 56:1 in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?

Your peace will never go deeper than your trust in God, and your trust in God will never outpace your knowledge of Him.  Jesus came so you might know the Father well and trust in Him completely.  I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit to grant you a revelation of Him through Christ every day.  This will establish in you an unshakeable peace.
