Fix Your Thoughts On God

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Isaiah 26:3

It must have been when I was in elementary school. My dad was leading a Sunday night sing-along at the church, and he was teaching us a little chorus based on Isaiah 26:3.

Without warning, the whole building shuddered as something monstrous crashed through the front door. We rushed outside to find my dad’s brand-new station wagon squeezed like an accordion between the building and the car that had slammed into—and totaled—it.

Dad gave the police the necessary information, but he couldn’t wait to get back inside and finish the service. The car was demolished, and all he could think of was using the crash as an object lesson for the song he had been teaching.

This stuff isn’t just theoretical; it really works. You will experience peace as a leader to the extent that you fix your thoughts on God.
