Today’s Scripture…
Colossians 3:14-15, 17
14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Thoughts…
Let the peace of Christ rule! Boy, if only the world could follow that little piece of advice. News media wouldn’t have anything to write about…lol
Real peace is not something that happens around you. It is a choice you make within you. Read that again…it…is…a…choice…YOU…make! It is not easy. Somedays you have to put those boxing gloves on and fight for it. However, it is worth the fight.
That sounds counterintuitive. You have to fight for your peace. Believe me when I say, Satan is going to throw every punch he can to keep you feeling ‘unpeaceful’. You are in a fight for your life. So, gear up Rocky! It is time to step in that ring and show him who is boss!
Prayer…
Lord, I am so glad my peace does not depend on others. Your peace is always waiting for me to choose it. ~amen.
