(Colossians 3:15 NKJV) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
This verse jumped out at me when I saw it, so I knew I had to share it with everyone!
As we have talked about so many times recently, we live in times of great turmoil and high stress. Regardless of what country we live in, there is unrest and constant change.
Peace is something that seems to be hard to find, outside of knowing God. With Him we can have peace, but without Him it’s pretty difficult to find peace in anything at all.
But did you notice how this verse ended? It tells us to be thankful. So God wants us to have peace and He also wants us to be thankful.
Sometimes learning to be thankful is what it takes to have peace. Because once we learn to be thankful and content, the peace comes naturally. But if we are never content or thankful for what we have, we will always be in a state of unrest, never having peace.
We need to let God teach us how to be content, thankful and full of His peace, no matter what we’re facing. For when we become content with what we have been given, then we are ready for what He has next for us.
