DEVOTION
What occupies your thoughts each day?

“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You.” Isaiah 26:3 NLT
“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:2 NKJV
A mind that continually turns to God becomes a steadfast mind, and a steadfast mind rests in His perfect peace.
