Put on love, let the peace of God rule, let the word of God dwell.
What a wonderful trinity of lessons for us to guide us during these days. There is not much hope for peace in the news or on social media or anywhere else. A sense of hopelessness seems to be growing. Jobs, if they are there, are not stable. No one knows what the news is going to bring tonight. Schooling is doing its best to survive. Churches are not able to meet together. People are getting desperate for social interaction.
It surely does not seem like a time for peace and I am finding it difficult myself.
‘Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which you are called in one body, and ne thankful.
That peace isn’t easy. We get some key elements here. We have one body to help and encourage each other. We are called in one body and that body needs to be united.
And be thankful. Now that’s where things can get tough even though Paul said the same thing to the Thessalonians when he said ‘Don’t be full of cares, but in everything my prayer and supplication with thanksgiving…and peace of God that passes all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Learning to give thanks is the key to us having peace.
