i love small words. small words can say so much. i always read for the BUT, the HAS, the AND. and here it is the LET.
“. . . do not LET your hearts be troubled.”
LET = permission.
Do not give permission for your hearts to be troubled. Do not let it dwell on the problems and circumstances. Do not let it start down a track of doubt and unbelief and fear. Instead LET your mind be fixed upon the greatness of God, upon his love and compassion and unshakeableness. Instead focus on His power to deliver and overcome.
Focus on His promise that He is with us always.
Peace is a choice. A choice between faith and fear. A decision. A letting. Peace is not the absence of troubling situations. Rather it is faith in the midst of trial and trouble. Make the choice to have peace.
"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you." Isaiah 26:3
