Your First Mind Is Your Right Mind: Trusting God for Perfect Peace

 

Your First Mind Is Your Right Mind

Peaceful person in quiet reflection representing a steadfast mind trusting God

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you."  Isaiah 26:3 (NIV)

   Isaiah 26:3 highlights a powerful spiritual truth: God grants perfect peace to those whose minds remain steadfast through trust in Him. This promise is not abstract, it is deeply practical and applies directly to everyday decision-making and inner guidance.

   Your first mind is your right mind. The initial thought, original idea, or inner prompting that arises with clarity often reflects the right direction. It is usually simple, peaceful, and free from confusion. When second, third, or additional thoughts enter, uncertainty frequently follows, influenced by external opinions, circumstances, or fear-based reasoning.

   Follow your first mind. Listen to that first inner voice the still, quiet clarity present at the beginning. Do not allow external pressures to pull you to the left or the right. Stay grounded and centered by heeding this initial guidance, trusting the still small voice God has placed within you.

   Your first mind does not lead you astray, because your first mind is your right mind. This principle encourages trusting the initial inner prompting that aligns with divine wisdom and peace, rather than overthinking or allowing later doubts to override it.

   In practical life, this means acting on clear first impressions while remaining anchored in trust. When the mind is fixed on God, steadfast and trusting, peace naturally follows. God provides clarity, steadiness, and assurance to those who rely on Him rather than mental noise or conflicting voices.

   In conclusion, embrace your first mind as your right mind. By listening to that initial inner prompting and placing your trust in God, you can experience the perfect peace promised in Isaiah 26:3 navigating life with clarity, confidence, and alignment with what is highest and best in your thoughts, words, and actions.

📖 Reflection: When was the last time you ignored your first inner prompting, and what might change if you trusted it more fully?

💡 Action Step: Today, pause before overthinking. Acknowledge your first clear inner guidance and move forward in trust, asking God to keep your mind steadfast and at peace.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
