WALK IN PEACE

Colossians 3: 15-17

And let the peace of GOD rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another, in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs singing with grace in your hearts to the LORD. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the LORD JESUS, giving thanks to GOD and the Father by Him.

PEACE WITH GOD AND THE PEACE OF GOD

For the last few days, we have been talking about peace with GOD through Covenant and in sacrifice. We have looked at how JESUS was and is our peace on earth; He lived and died to reconcile us to GOD and make peace with GOD.  Through Him we have access to the Throne of GOD and are part of the royal family of GOD. JESUS is the way to peace with GOD; OUR SALVATION.

There are many who are reconciled to GOD through their belief in JESUS and are saved, who do not have the peace of GOD ruling their hearts and lives.  For the next days, we will look at the peace of GOD and how to have that peace even in the midst of the storms of life.

The peace of GOD is a state of being. In Hebrew, the word is Shalom which means wholeness, the favor of GOD, devoid of depression and darkness, prosperity and peace.  The key word to finding the peace of GOD is the little word "let". We "let" the peace of GOD rule our heart by giving GOD priority in all that we do. "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the LORD JESUS." We "let" the word of GOD dwell, make its home in, our heart richly. To let something happen means that we must give our permission for it to occur.  To have the peace of GOD, we must yield to GOD everything.

CHOOSE TO YIELD YOURSELF TO GOD
