We live in a time in which there is such a pursuit among people to stay healthy, look younger, be stress free, etc… Goals toward good health are important to have because it causes us to discipline ourselves, and the end result is rewarding. May we be as diligent to pursue and hold fast to God’s peace in our life for there is much power in the spirit of the one that maintains his or her peace that only the Lord can give.
Colossians 3:15-Amplified version
“And let the peace soul harmony which comes from Christ
rule act as umpire continually in your hearts deciding
and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds,
in that peaceful state to which as members of Christ’s
In this scripture Paul spoke of Christ’s peace being like an umpire or referee in our hearts. His peace will settle all unrest and arguments that go on in our minds. Our hearts and minds are the center of all conflict because this is where our feelings and desires clash, our hopes and fears meet , jealousy battles with love, etc…
Today I want to encourage your heart to ask Him to help you listen to the umpire of your heart. He will instruct you in a way that peace will rule and reign no matter what. It is God’s peace that surpasses all understanding. Jesus indeed gives us peace that the world cannot give. Blessings to you this day!
