The Peace of God Day 21
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15
Peace that surpasses all understanding—can it truly be real? Is it available to every single one of us? The answer is a resounding yes! God’s Word assures us that His peace is not reserved for a select few but is offered to all who will believe and receive it.
As we come to the end of our fasting journey, let us reflect on this peace that God has made available to us. This is not the world’s peace, which is often conditional and fleeting. God’s peace is eternal, unshakable, and complete. It surpasses human understanding because it exists even in the midst of challenges, uncertainties, and trials. When we experience this kind of peace in the midst of turmoil our soul responds with thanks.
Paul reminds us in Colossians 3:15 that this peace is meant to rule in our hearts. It is not a visitor but a ruler, meant to guide, guard, and govern our lives. When peace rules, worry, fear, and confusion lose their power. But this peace doesn’t work in isolation—it is accompanied by gratitude.
Gratitude anchors us in God’s goodness. When we focus on His blessings and give thanks for what we have, we guard our hearts against discontentment and protect the peace He has given us. Gratitude shifts our perspective from lack to abundance, from fear to faith, and from worry to worship.
Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your perfect peace. May I keep my mind and heart fixed on You Lord for You alone bring peace to my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. I love You Lord. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
