Colossians 3:15-17
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 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.
I was thinking about this verse today! Recently, I've been a little anxious about things that I cannot say! LOL and I am just worried sometimes..i guess! But really, I find that I truly need to "let the peace of Christ rule in my heart"! And just be thankful...no matter what! And just remember, that no matter what I do, I should do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus! and give thanks to God through Him!
Yeah! i know i sort of paraphrased the passage, but it's so true! I need to have a thankful heart and do everything for Him! and let Christ's peace rule over my heart!
I think one of my resolutions for 2012 is to have a thankful heart...no matter what happens! Whether good or bad...let Christ's peace rule in me so that I can be thankful! Either way, God has a plan for me...and I know it His plan is always better than mine! I might think that one this is better than another, but if God doesn't think that for me, then it's probably not better! God knows everything and loves us! No matter what life throws at us, we have to be thankful, learn from the experience and move on...and grow!
Dear God,
I ask for your peace to rule my heart so that I may be thankful no matter what happens today, tomorrow, or anytime in the future. I want to be able to continuously sing to you with gratitude in my heart! A heart of thanksgiving and peace! And let everything I do, be in Your name! If good things happen to me, let me praise Your name...If bad/sad things happen to me, let me praise Your name! for you are worthy to be praised! And Your plan for me is great! God, you know my heart...you know what I'm struggling with! Please give me peace so that I can truly be thankful to You!
