Do

The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. - Philippians 4.9

I often think about the notion that there is no 'doing' in Christian living. Some folks say that all we have to do is hand it all over to God and sit back for the victorious ride through life.

But here it is as plan as can be - 'the things you have learned and heard and seen in me - do!'

When it comes to salvation there is certainly a 'done.' When it comes to our eternity being secure there is also definitely a 'done.' There is nothing we can do to add to either of these.

But there is still a doing to be done. All the things, Paul says, that you have received and heard and seen in me - do. And the peace of God will be with.

Don't worry

Prayer with thanksgiving

Rejoice no matter what

Think the right thoughts

Do this and you will know the peace of God. It is great to hear it and learn it, but how do we do when it comes to the doing? James says that we are to be doers of the word and not just hearers because if we are only hearers we are just fooling ourselves.

All of the things we have read about the last few days and great. They are all the right things. But its not enough to just think about them - now it is time we do it. Until we do do it we can't really know the peace of God. 

Are we involved in the doing so we can know the peace?
