A Mind Stayed On God

Posted by Anthony Crumley

The effect our mind has on our lives cannot be overestimated.  Everything that we feel, desire, do, and say begins with thoughts in our mind.  As a result, we must make sure that our minds stay fixed and focused on God.

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.  (Isa. 26:3)

A mind that is stayed on God is one that is strengthened, supported and sustained by Him.  A “stay” is a brace, support, or prop to keep something stable and in the right place.  For our mind to be stayed on God, we must rest and lean upon Him for support at all times.

When our mind is stayed upon Him we will have perfect peace and contentment.  We will not worry or complain because we know that He is working everything out for our benefit by making us more like Jesus.  We will have a quietness and tranquility of mind that is way beyond normal human experience.

Becoming stayed upon God begins with trust.  Are we willing to trust Him with every part of our lives?  Do we depend on His leadership and support in all our personal and professional decisions?  Are we attached to Him in such a way that our relationship with Him influences everything we do?
