Indwelling Peace

And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful.
Colossians 3:15 HCSB

The whole of this chapter speaks to practical Christianity, the how to of our lives. Paul speaks a lot of allowing the peace of God to rule.

God's peace is a good governor. If our aim is to walk in Him His peace rules. At Work, currently, I have a lot of noise thrown at me. It demands attention. Yet what is God saying?

The noise of life is a robber of Peace. It steals our rest. The enemy of our soul comes to rob and steal but Jesus came to give us abundant life. Our striving for abundant life can also cause us to lose peace. Paul, in this chapter tells us to keep our eyes on things above. Striving happens when we have our eyes on things below.

If we want peace we need to follow the instructions. Amen!
