“Let the Peace of Jesus Christ Rule in Your Hearts”

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, where chaos and noise often drown out moments of tranquility, the scripture from Colossians 3:15, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,” emerges as a beacon of serenity and harmony. This verse is not merely a suggestion; it is an imperative, a command that carries with it the weight of divine wisdom and the promise of a life transformed.

The Essence of Christ’s Peace

The peace of Christ is unlike any worldly peace. It is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a profound assurance that transcends circumstances. To let this peace rule in our hearts is to allow it to govern our actions, decisions, and reactions. It is to submit to its authority, letting it arbitrate when conflict arises within us or around us. This peace is a gift, one that was purchased through the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross and is freely offered to all who believe in Him.

The Call to Unity

Colossians 3:15 also reminds us that we are called to peace as members of one body. This is a call to unity, to live in harmony with our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is a reminder that our interactions with others should be characterized by the love and grace that have been shown to us. When the peace of Christ rules in our hearts, it breaks down barriers of hostility and builds bridges of fellowship.

The Attitude of Gratitude

Moreover, the latter part of the verse, “And be thankful,” is not to be overlooked. Gratitude is the natural response to the recognition of Christ’s peace in our lives. It is an acknowledgment that every breath, every moment of calm, every resolved conflict is a gift from above. A thankful heart is a heart at peace, one that sees the good in every situation and gives credit where credit is due.

Living Out the Peace of Christ

To live out the peace of Christ is to walk in step with the Spirit, to exhibit the fruits of the Spirit in every aspect of life. It is to choose patience over impatience, kindness over cruelty, and humility over pride. It is to forgive as we have been forgiven and to love as we have been loved. The peace of Christ compels us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.

Closing Moral:

The moral of this scripture is clear: peace is not just a state of being-but instead it is an active choice, a daily decision to let the love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ govern our hearts and lives. It is a commitment to reflect His peace in a world that desperately needs it.

Closing Questions:

How can we more effectively let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts in practical ways? What steps can we take to ensure that this peace is not just an internal experience but also evident in our relationships and interactions with others?

 “Dear Lord, I thank You for the peace that surpasses all understanding, the peace that Your Son, Jesus Christ, offers to me. Help me to let this peace rule in my heart, guiding me in every decision and action. May I be an instrument of Your peace, spreading love and unity wherever I go. Teach me to be thankful in all circumstances, recognizing Your hand in every part of my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.”

Courage – 4TheChristianManCourage  

Deuteronomy 31:6 is a powerful exhortation and a divine promise that has resonated through the ages: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” This verse speaks to the heart of human vulnerability and the universal search for strength and companionship in the face of life’s adversities.

The call to be strong and courageous is not merely a command; it is an invitation to trust in the unwavering presence of God. The assurance that the Lord is with us, that He will not leave us nor forsake us, is the foundation upon which our courage is built. It is a reminder that our strength does not come from within ourselves, but from the One who created us and sustains us.

This promise was given to the Israelites as they stood on the brink of entering the Promised Land, a moment filled with both great anticipation and profound uncertainty. Today, we find ourselves standing at the edge of our own challenges, our own moments of transition and decision. The words of Deuteronomy 31:6 continue to offer solace and strength.

Supporting Scriptures:

  • Isaiah 41:10: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
  • Joshua 1:9: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Reflection Questions:

  • How can the assurance of God’s presence in Deuteronomy 31:6 change the way you face your fears?
  • In what ways have you experienced the strength and courage that comes from trusting in God’s promise to never leave you?
  • How can you apply the principles of this verse to support others who are facing their own battles?

Moral: The moral of Deuteronomy 31:6 is that true courage is not the absence of fear, but the conviction to move forward in spite of fear, knowing that we are never alone. It teaches us that our greatest ally in the face of adversity is the Divine presence that accompanies us, guides us, and provides us with the strength we need to overcome.

 “Dear LORD- I thank You for Your promise to be with me always. In moments of fear and uncertainty, remind me to be strong and courageous, For Your presence is my constant source of strength and comfort. Help me to trust in Your faithful companionship, and to extend Your love and support to those around me, In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.”

As you reflect on this beautiful verse – I pray that it will deepen your understanding of Deuteronomy 31:6 and inspire you to live with the courage that comes from the certainty of God’s eternal presence.

Christian Modesty: Bible Verse OTD: Obedience

The Love of Mother Mary for Christ:
A Reflection of Divine Obedience, Patience, and Attitude

The love of a mother is a profound and sacred bond, one that transcends the bounds of the earthly realm and touches the divine. In the Christian tradition, no love is more venerated than that of Mother Mary for her son, Jesus Christ. Her love is not just a maternal affection; it is a testament to unwavering obedience, boundless patience, and a gracious attitude that every follower of Christ is called to emulate.

Obedience in Love –

Mary’s journey began with an act of supreme obedience. When the angel Gabriel announced that she would conceive a son by the Holy Spirit, she responded, “I am the Lord’s servant… May your word to me be fulfilled” (Luke 1:38). This was not a passive submission, but a courageous acceptance of God’s will, knowing the challenges that lay ahead.

Patience in Suffering Throughout Christ’s life, Mary exhibited extraordinary patience. She pondered the angel’s words in her heart (Luke 2:19), patiently waiting for the unfolding of God’s plan. At the foot of the cross, her patience was the ultimate test as she witnessed her son’s crucifixion, fulfilling Simeon’s prophecy that a sword would pierce her own soul (Luke 2:35).

Attitude of Grace Mary’s attitude was one of grace and humility. She considered herself blessed among women (Luke 1:48) yet she never sought glory for herself. Her focus was always on her Son and his mission. Even at the wedding at Cana, her gentle nudge to Jesus, “They have no wine,” (John 2:3) showed her compassionate concern for others, an attitude that all followers of Christ should aspire to.

Reflecting Mary’s Love in our Lives As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect Mary’s love in our lives. Her obedience inspires us to listen to God’s voice and follow His will, even when it leads us down difficult paths. Her patience reminds us to trust in God’s timing, and her attitude teaches us to serve others with humility and grace.

  • How can we show obedience to God’s will in our daily lives?
  • In what ways can we demonstrate patience during trials and tribulations?
  • How can we cultivate an attitude of service and humility like Mary?

“Dear Father, may I embody the love of Mother Mary for Christ in my own life. May I be obedient to God’s call, patient in sufferings, and gracious in attitude. May the Holy Spirit guide me to live out these virtues, following the example of the Blessed Mother -Father, may I draw closer to Your Son, our Lord in all I do and say, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Glory to God in the highest | Christian quotes, Inspirational bible ...

The Resonance of Divine Glory  

Psalm 29:2 beckons us to “Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.” This verse is a clarion call to recognize the inherent majesty of the Divine, a summons to the soul to rise above the mundane and enter the realm of sacred adoration.

The Essence of Worship

At its core, worship is an act of love, a profound expression of reverence for the Creator. It is not merely a ritualistic practice but a heartfelt acknowledgment of God’s omnipotence and benevolence. The “splendor of holiness” mentioned in Psalm 29:2 is a testament to the pure, untainted essence of divine worship, which is both a privilege and a duty for every believer.

Love Embodied in Praise

To worship in love is to see beyond the veil of the temporal, to touch the eternal. It is to offer praise that is as much an outpouring of the spirit as it is a tribute to God’s glory. The Psalmist understands this intertwining of love and worship, urging us to present ourselves in holiness as we adore the Lord.

Supporting Verses

The Bible is replete with verses that echo the sentiment of Psalm 29:2. Psalm 150:6 exhorts, “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.” This universal call to worship emphasizes that all of creation is meant to participate in the exaltation of God.

In 1 Chronicles 16:34, we are reminded of the enduring love of God: “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” This enduring love is the foundation upon which our worship is built, a love that is reciprocated through our praises.

John 4:24 reveals the nature of true worship: “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” Worship, therefore, is not confined to physical spaces or rituals; it is a spiritual journey anchored in authenticity and sincerity.

 The act of worship is transformative. It is an encounter with the Divine that leaves us changed, more aligned with God’s will, and more reflective of His holiness. As we ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name, we are, in turn, enveloped in His grace, mercy, and love. When we ascribe to His ways, His Word, and listen to the defining voice of the LORD, we are thereby able to embrace life in a way that we otherwise would not, had we been anything other than a follower of the LORD. With our Almighty Father by our side, and the Spirit dwelling within we are confident and able to accomplish all that we endeavor, and we do so – only through Christ our LORD!

Are You listening to His voice? Do you worship Him in splendor? Do you recognize His profound Presence and Majestic Omnipotence?

 “Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You in humble adoration, recognizing Your infinite glory and grace. May worship be a sweet, fragrant offering that honors Your holy name. Teach me and Your children to worship You in spirit and truth, to love You with all every aspect of being and with all our hearts, and to reflect Your holiness in our lives. Amen.”

May this devotion bring a deeper understanding and practice of worship, rooted in love and reverence for our Almighty LORD!

DEAR GOD: Help Us To Forgive Each Other~

David Platt Quote: “Forgiveness is God’s greatest gift because it meets ...

Forgiveness is a divine attribute, often emphasized in the teachings of Christianity as a pathway to spiritual liberation and eternal life. The Bible offers profound insights into the nature of forgiveness and its indispensable role in our spiritual journey.

The Essence of Forgiveness- Forgiveness is not merely an act but a state of heart and mind that reflects the grace of God. Ephesians 4:32 implores us to be “kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” This truly sets the stage for what we are supposed to do as Christians, this verse encapsulates the essence of Christian forgiveness: a reflection of His Divine and intimate and unmerited mercy.

The Mandate to Forgive- In Mark 11:25, we are instructed, “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” This directive makes it crystal clear that our forgiveness is ultimately intertwined with God’s forgiveness. To receive, we must give. And it is commanded, not asked – it is from Jesus’ lips to those in attendance all those years ago, and right up to this very second in time – throughout the generations.

The Consequence of Unforgiveness- Matthew 6:15 starkly warns, “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” This particular implication is starkly profound; our salvation hinges on our capacity to forgive. It is a prerequisite for entering heaven, as unforgiveness is a barrier between the soul and God. The barrier of unforgiveness is easy to break down. All we have to do is FORGIVE others, as God will forgive us. If we don’t there is going to be an impasse in Heaven come judgement day. There are several passages in the Bible that ascribe to that message. Have you read them lately?

The Power of Forgiveness -Forgiveness has the power to transform lives. It liberates the forgiver from the chains of bitterness and grants the forgiven a chance for redemption. Colossians 3:13 encourages us to “Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” It is a call to emulate Christ’s boundless forgiveness. It is a call and His voice of reason reaching out to us – offering us the opportunity to be with Him forever in the Eternity. It is the branch that will connect us to Christ forever when we are called home one day. Repentance and forgiveness and embracing our Savior Jesus Christ – that is our golden ticket into the realm of Heaven and eternity.

Conclusion -In conclusion, forgiveness is not optional but essential for those who seek Heaven. It is a divine and direct command, a moral imperative, and a spiritual necessity. As we forgive, we mirror the love of Christ and open the doors to God’s Kingdom. The door are thrown wide open for us to step inside, once we listen to and fulfill His commandments.

Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door to Eternal peace and communion with our Divine Father of mercy and love. Let us hold fast to this truth and walk the path of forgiveness, for it is the way to Heaven, and a securing a seat at the Lamb’s banquet!

Prayer for Forgiveness –

“Dear Father, we come before You seeking the strength to forgive, as You have forgiven us. Grant us tender hearts that readily release any grudges and embrace Your command to love. May our forgiveness be a testament to Your mercy, leading us closer to You and the promise of heaven. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

 

DEAR GOD: Help Me To Walk In Spirit~

Walking In The Spirit - Part 1 - CrossBridge Community Church

Living life according to the Spirit is a process and a journey. There are so many great verses throughout the Bible that discuss being and walking in the Spirit, Romans 8 – may perhaps be one of the most insightful. Walking in the Spirit promotes general well-being. Even when things are bleak and you might be hindered by circumstances, situations, individuals, or events that transpired in your life-being led by the Holy Spirit will bring about ways in which you not only can and will cope, but will survive all things in life.

Walk in the Spirit (Romans 8:4)

There truly isn’t any shortcut to learning about “how to walk by the Spirit.” Life in the Spirit is trying to live according to God’s law and fundamentally do the right thing. But it’s much more than that. Walking in the Spirit is what it means to live as a Christian-some might say it’s like a light went off -and that light is Jesus Christ.

Set your minds on the things of the Spirit (Romans 8:5)
The question becomes sort of an old riddle: “How can someone extract all of the air out from a drinking glass? – The answer-fill it with something else!

So how do we overcome and pull away from our flesh and our mortal carnal ways, thoughts, actions? Well similar to the riddle, you need to “fill up on good things, godly things, clean things, an entirely different mindset that is strictly oriented toward the things of the Sprit-(Galatians 5:22–23)

We can’t extract thoughts that are displeasing to God from our minds. So, we have to “fill up on all good things.” When we put to the death the deeds of our body by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:13) Life becomes engaging in the most beautiful ways. We get to view, act upon and develop into who we are supposed to be, according to the LORD, and we are then able to serve Him in all kinds of capacities. We are then actively involved with being “one body in Christ.”

Pray in the Spirit.  (Romans 8:26–27)
We are unsure at times what we need or how to ask for help. We are shown that the Holy Spirit will make known by intercessory prayers to the Father, by groanings from within. Overall outcome and result is that our prayers will be answered according to the will of God, because the Spirit is moving us to pray thusly, and in fact presenting our prayer to the Father, and guiding us all the way through!

Eventually walking, acting and presenting in the Spirit to all those we encounter will become part of whom we are.In fact, it is who we are! We are one body in Christ. Believers have His Spirit within. And we can accomplish so much more when we do things in the Spirit, as we are intended to do. The Bible has so many more rich verses pertaining to this in both OT and NT. We just have to open His book and read and commune with Him.  And doing all this- will in fact, make our life a life worth LIVING!

“LORD, help guide and direct me along the highway of life, show me the paths in which I should walk, teach me the gentleness of Your Spirit, help me to walk elegantly and majestically in the Spirit as You have, open my eyes, ears heart and soul to be more like Jesus’ Spirit each day of my life, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Trust in God in the Midst of Everything Going On | AirMaria.com

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” –Romans 8:35-37

Firmly holding on to the LORD in all we do or say is a sign of a “mature Christian.” It is the dedication and introspect of His Word and knowing Christ intimately that gives us our forbearance and strength to endure all things, and still cling to our faith.

  • Psalm 28:7 – The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him

When turbulence threatens to upset your way of life or an untimely incident appears on your doorway – that is when the roots of our Christian faith are put to the “test” as we express our believe and trust in God.

  • Proverbs 3:5 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

Knowing He is there for us at all times is comforting and is one of the best things of accepting Jesus as our LORD and Savior. Knowing we are covered by His blood and that He ransomed us and redeemed us, and we are His, and He is ours!

No matter what circumstances you may be facing today, tomorrow or any day thereafter, have courage and be at peace – for the LORD God is with You. He will never leave you, or disappoint you. He is there for all the days of your life, and thereafter into the eternity.

  • Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever

Trust Him. Love Him. Talk to Him. Read His Word. It will make all the difference in your life. His promises are real, and so too is His love for you!

  • Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”.

“Father, thank You for being with me all the days of my life, may I be pleasing in Your eyes as I do all things unto You and give You all the glory now and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

DEAR GOD: You Are My Umbrella & More~

~Psalm 3:3~
 But You, O Lord, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.

So, the rain poured down from the Heavens and I reach for my umbrella – and it shields me from harsh elements- and I am protected!

LORD – You are my umbrella of fortune and blessings and I know You are with me in all kinds of weather. In fact, You control the weather patterns, and it “listens” to You!

When we are aligned in God’s word and pull away from the insignificance of the World, and all its ugly enticements – we are assured of rewards to come here and most especially in the eternity.

Some may say, “why can’t I indulge in some pleasurable things – if I’m good and do good things, what’s the big deal?”  Well, it is a big deal if you’re not adhering to His Word and are doing ungodly things that are not favorable in His sight. God doesn’t want His children to partake in insignificant things or indulge in idolatry. Idolatry is anything that takes you away from the LORD and His Word. No matter how small you may think it is, if it’s an abomination in God’s eyes, and not godly – then it isn’t as “small” as you think it is.

Idolatry is not acceptable in His eyes. This can run the gamut from addictions, possessions, materialistic items, anything that leads to the eviction of God in your life.

We need to concentrate on “living” but staying within the confines and parameters of being C child of Christ and living a life that suits Christians.

He is the provider for all our needs and His provisions are never ending, and His love is free flowing. Nothing and no one can compare to His magnificence, and His Omnipotence.

Do you feel God is your umbrella? Can you recall any time in your life where God protected you fully? Do you have idols in your life you need to be rid of?

“Father, thank You for Your continuous Presence in my life, may I always be in obedience to You and Your Word, may I never stray, and if I do – as I am human- please gently guide me back onto Your path of righteousness, as that is the only path I wish to walk upon, in Jesus’ name I thank You, Amen.”

 

 

DEAR GOD: How Do We Help Someone To Forgive?

by // // No Comments

Matthew 6:12 Forgive us our sins as we have forgiven those who sin ...Forgiveness is not easy, especially when someone has hurt us deeply. We may feel angry, betrayed, or resentful, and we may want to retaliate or seek justice. But the Bible teaches us a different way of responding to those who hurt us. It teaches us to forgive, as God has forgiven us.

Forgiveness is not a feeling, but a decision. It is not condoning or forgetting what happened but releasing the offender from our debt. It is not denying or minimizing our pain but choosing to heal and move on. Forgiveness is not a one-time act, but a process that may take time and effort. It is not a sign of weakness, but a mark of strength and maturity.

Forgiveness is a gift that we give to ourselves and to others. It frees us from bitterness, anger, and resentment, and restores our peace and joy. It opens the door for reconciliation, restoration, and renewal. It reflects the character and love of God, who forgave us while we were still sinners. It honors the sacrifice of Jesus, who died on the cross to pay for our sins. It follows the example of Jesus, who prayed for his enemies and forgave those who crucified him.

The Bible is full of verses that encourage us to forgive those who hurt us. Here are some of them:

– “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13)

– “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:14-15)

– “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” (Luke 6:37)

– “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

– “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” (Mark 11:25)

– “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:44-45)

– “Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.”
(1 Peter 3:9)

Forgiving those who hurt us is not easy, but it is possible with God’s help. He gives us the grace, the strength, and the motivation to forgive. He heals our wounds and restores our relationships. He blesses us when we obey his command and follow his example. He makes us more like him, as we forgive as he forgave us. So, for those of you who need to hear/read this today, because you may be going through a similar circumstance, or know someone going through this, please let go, choose to forgive, and move on in Christ’ Light and Grace.

“Father, should I encounter a wrongdoing, may I be of Jesus’ Spirit in terms of forgiving and praying for the individual, may I be tolerant and humble in moving forward, and may I be a witness to Your commandments and Your doctrine in all I do and say, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

DEAR GOD: I believe In Your Goodness~

THE GOODNESS OF GOD - YouTube

1 Corinthians 15:55 –“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

I really believe that there are more “good” than “bad” in the world. I personally think that the news likes to show sensationalism and not sweet peaceful stories. People tend to seek the “abnormal” more than the “norm.”

A friend of mine was stating how evil everyone is in the world today. She was on a roll that lasted for about 25 minutes. I mean she was going on and on. It was negative and dark and didn’t look like there was any stopping her caustic dialogue. Until I said, “Please-enough!” She stopped on a dime.  I then said, “There is still good in the world. God is good all the time, and all those who follow Him – His light is in them, and they are inherently good.”  She didn’t say anything for a while then realized she was caught up in a negative energy of the prince of the air – and was forgetting about the King of the Universe! The devil likes to whisper and entice you to spread negativity and anger and disgust, and that was my friend. For a moment she was caught up in it.

When we take the time to realize that Jesus is victorious- we can get back on the track of reality. Yes- the harsh reality right now is that the world is in kind of a chaotic mode, and the dark is seemingly overtaking the light. However, Stop! And know that Jesus Reigns Supreme and conquered the grave!  The sting of death – is non-existent! Praise Him! He gets the victory all the time.

We need to reinforce His Word and let it mesh within our being. The Word should be in our brain, heart and soul. It is there to reach and bring us back to the joyous fact that Jesus is King of kings and LORD of lords, and He Reigns forever!

So – if you get melancholy about the sight of the world as it stands, look up and embrace His Word to fill you with inspiration and hope, and courage to face the day and days ahead.

Here are just a few of inspirational verses for you to meditate upon, to give you hope and solidify how Great the Great I AM is! Never forget – The One and only King -and the One we owe our lives and all things!

Remember, no matter how harsh the winds that seem to be blowing in your face, God is there to be a buffer for us. He is the One who controls all things, including the weather, and our breath that we breathe! Amen! Thank You Sweet LORD!

Deuteronomy 20:4 For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”

John 16:33 –“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Ephesians 6:10 –Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

1 John 5:4 –for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

Joshua 10:8 –  The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.”

Proverbs 21:31–The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD.

1 Corinthians 15:57 -But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

“Father, thank You, I know You are victorious and through Your blood and the name of Christ, I am able to withstand in Your name all things, and know that I am protected by Your promises and Your love and Your grace, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
