Peace in Christ

Colossians 3:15—And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.

What does it mean to have the peace of Christ? It means we shouldn’t worry or feel scared—we shouldn’t become paralyzed by the inadequacy of our humanity.  We aren’t in control of what is happening in our lives, but we can rest assured that God is using all things together to bless us, not harm us.  God’s vision is multi-dimensional and far-reaching.  He understands more about what we need than we could ever fathom. 


Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, take whatever worries, fears, and anxieties you have to God.  Be explicit when you talk to Him, and tell Him how you are feeling, why you are feeling that way, and ask Him to take control of the matter.  Ask Him to calm your soul and make His presence known to you.  Offer up praise for his abiding presence in your life.
