February 1, 2021 – Colossians 3:15-17

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:15-17.

The Peace of Christ is a relationship with Him without envy or strife and built on Loving our Lord and Loving Others. When we allow the Word of Christ be our Way, we are thankful, not once a year but every moment.  Which hymn tells of His love for us?

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I am found, Was blind, but now I see.  (John Newton).

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27.  Why should we hunger and thirst for righteousness? And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever. Isaiah 32:17.

Our Father in Heaven, build in me the hunger and thirst for Righteousness and His Goodness in my heart. May I serve my Lord with a thankful heart and being.  I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen!

How can I say thanks for all the things You have done for me? Things so undeserved, Yet You gave to prove Your Love to me. (Andrae Crouch)
