Colossians 3:15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
God tells us here he wants us to live in peace not turmoil or anxiety. He even tells us where that peace is to be found so we don't have to try and find it in the wrong place.
True peace can only come from Christ, the One anointed by God to be the Prince of Peace and when we come to Him in faith we can receive His peace afresh today. So often we let doubts and fears creep in and they start to rule our hearts but here God says let peace rule in our hearts. That means we have a choice.
He finishes by saying be thankful. Maybe that's one of the keys to allowing Christ's peace to rule in our hearts. When we're thankful we're not worrying. When we're thankful we've put our eyes on God not on the size of our problem. When we realise God is so much bigger than our problem His peace will overpower our worries and fears.
Let's lift our hands up to our Prince of Peace today and allow His peace to fill our minds and hearts, to flood our souls. Anytime you feel yourself getting wound up just stop, turn to Jesus and let Him fill you again with His peace.
Allow His peace to rule your day and have a blessed weekend everyone.😊
