Isaiah 26:3
"Thou [God] wilt keep him [the believer] in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed [fixed] on Thee..."

That's the stayed mind. It is fixed on the Word of God, the revelation of God, the truth of God.
Do you want to be miserable? Look within at yourself and focus on all your weaknesses and faults.
Do you want to be discouraged? Look around at the world with all its confusion.
Do you want to be peaceful? Look at God and His Word.

When I share this with people, they get upset and say you can't have perfect peace. I have to remind people alot of times that I didn't write the Book. I have to believe that God either lied or told the truth in this verse the same as they do. This is a promise of God...the one who makes a promise is the one who is responsible to make good on it. I didn't promise anybody perfect peace......God did!

Now, personally, I believe that God told the truth here. I practice this verse faithfully...and it allows me to walk with confidence and assurance because I am at peace.
Now, I want to teach you something really beautiful. The word "perfect" in this verse is really the word "peace" again. The word "peace" is stated twice........whenever God says something twice in His Word, it is established. [You might see this note in your center margin].

Now God is Spirit [John 4:24]. How do I stay my mind on God? We stay or fix our mind on God's Word and His promises. And when I don't allow my mind to get moved off of that Word, God fulfills His promise and I remain in that peacefulness where I can enjoy His divine presence and hear His still small voice.
That peace makes it possible to receive the revelation that God has for you, to walk moment by moment before Him.

Romans 8:6
".....to be spiritually minded is life and peace."

Peace, Peace

Way to go, great post , Jesus gave the disciples perfect peace that day when He stepped to the front of the Boat and said peace, be still and the disciple marveled at what Man this was. If we could fully trust Him we would marvel also, at what He would do for us.

Eph 3:17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,Eph 3:18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;Eph 3:19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.Eph 3:20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,Eph 3:21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Verses somewhat taken out of context but still a true enough statement if you focus on nthe truth of assurance of salvation we have in christ.
