Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as
members of one body you were called to peace.
And be thankful.
--Colossians
3:15
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE
Peace
- that illusive state of grace that incorporates all of life's well-being. Because of Jesus, we have true shalom
-wellness in body, soul, and spirit.
His relationships with others, his victory over sin, death and the grave
insures that we can have peace, too! So
as we receive the Spirit of Christ into our hearts, we can live with our
brothers and sisters, no matter how flawed, in a state of peace. Besides, as Paul changes metaphors on us, we are the Body of Christ
and of course a body does not want to be at war with itself. So live in peace with others, and do so with
thanksgiving.
MY PRAYER
Blessed
Father of all believers, please give me a heart to love your people. I know as the character of Jesus permeates my
life, I will appreciate the preciousness of each of your children more and will
come to see those difficult family members as the grit out of which you will
fashion my pearl. I pray you give me grace till my heart matches my commitment
to love all of your children. Through
Jesus I pray. Amen.
A Brand New Thing
Today's Scripture
For
I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun!
Isaiah
43:19, NLT.
Today's Word
Can
you see the “brand new thing” God is doing in your life? Sometimes it’s easy to
see the hand of God moving, and sometimes the storms of life can cloud our vision.
But no matter where you are in life today, meditate on this truth that God is
working even when you can’t see Him. Like a seed buried deep in the ground, it
may seem dark and lonely and there may be dirt all around, but that is place
where life springs forth. Trust that God is doing a new thing! You can trust
Him because He is faithful! His plan for you today is blessing. His plan is to
give you a future and a hope. His plan is to do a new thing in your life. Let
go of the thoughts of the past and open your heart to what God is doing today.
Ask Him to show you what He’s doing. Ask Him to reveal it to your heart. Seek
Him and you will find Him and see the brand new think He’s doing in you!
Prayer for Today
Heavenly
Father, thank You for doing a work in me, even when I don’t see it. Thank You
for the brand new thing You have. I open my heart and put my faith and trust in
You in Jesus’ name! Amen.
