to which you were also called in one body;
and be thankful! Colossians 3:15
Have you ever had one of those days when there was so much confusion whirling around your head that you felt like screaming, “STOP!”?
From time to time everyone has that kind of day, and when you do, your temptation is probably either to get in the flesh and react to someone in an ugly way or to get depressed, go to bed and forget about it all.
However, we know that neither choice will help you solve the problems you are facing.
Rather than throw in the towel and let your emotions get the best of you, why not stop right now and make a decision to let the Word of God rule you today?
When I say “rule,” I mean the supernatural peace dominating and governing every emotion and situation that confronts you. If you don’t make this decision and follow through with it, worry, fear, insecurity, doubt and many other emotions will try to take control over you.
Instead, let the peace of God rule in your heart as Paul wrote in Colossians 3:15.
The word “rule” here describes an umpire or referee who moderated and judged athletic
competitions.
Paul is saying that God’s peace can work like an umpire or referee in our hearts, minds and emotions.
When feeling overwhelmed, just stop a moment and deliberately set your heart and mind on
Jesus and the Word of God.
Confession:
I confess that God’s supernatural peace dominates me. When I am tempted to get upset and my emotions try to take control of me, I put these emotions aside and allow the Spirit of God to release a supernatural, dominating, moderating peace to rule my heart, mind and emotions! I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!
Bless you all,
Pastor Ken
