All hell is breaking loose. Jesus has told Peter he's about to get worked by Satan and betray him. Anything and everything that the disciples have lived for and hoped for is about to completely fall apart beyond what they could imagine and Jesus says, "do not let your hearts be troubled." <br /><br />Stef - You're so steady Eddie that your fear is somewhat consistent. <br /><br />I feel like my fears are all over the place from day to day (apparently I'm not as steady as you.) <br /><br />Whatever the fear, my ongoing reminder is "the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom." <br /><br />I say to God, well, I'm fearin' right now God. So, I guess this moment must be a wonderful opportunity to initiate some divine wisdom by giving you my fear and letting your perfect love drive it away." <br /><br />So drive it on like Donkey Kong Jesus. Blow that fear away. Get me some fruity drinks and a nice beach and establish peace that transcends all understanding in my soul my Lord." <br /><br />I know this probably sounds a little forced and mechanical but it is at times what I envision when fleshing out the verse "you will keep in perfect peace, the one whose mind is steadfast."<br /><br />Christ is steadfast. He is the steady Eddy of peace. I just need to trust His word of peace and lean not on my own fear/understanding.Stephen Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682964299691774701noreply@blogger.com
