Perfect Peace is translated in the Hebrew as Shalom Shalom - a greeting or farewell blessing. This shows in Hebrew that repetition communicates intensity. It isn't just Shalom but Shalom Shalom - Perfect Peace which refers to health, happiness and well-being.
Notice that the text says, 'whose mind is stayed on You.' It's the mind that plays havoc with our thinking if we don't take control. We need to take control of what is happening in our mind by filling it with the Word of God. We need to focus. Stop allowing yourself to become fearful and agitated. Don't allow worry but pursue peace. We do this by giving our all to Jesus - by placing Him fully in the driving seat of our life. If we allow the devil into the back seat, pretty soon he is going to want to drive. Do you get the picture? Don't let the evil one through your hedge of protection.
Jesus told us in John 14:27:
'Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.'
Don't permit worry - pursue peace. Just sit for one moment and allow yourself to consider just how much Jesus loves you. He died in your place; He forgave you for all the wrongs you had done; He's given you your life back; He has done so much for you. Do you really think that He's going to let you down now? Of course not.
He loves you far too much for that! Let not your heart be troubled!
