Lenten study 2007 - Day thirty-four

March 31, 2007

Colossians 3:15 - Let the peace of Christ be in control of your heart (for you were in fact called as one body to this peace), and be thankful.

I need to be reminded that my “natural” state is one of contentment, not of anxiety, which sneaks in so easily. Some day I should make a word study of contentment, joy, happiness, and peace. I believe there are some crucial distinctions to be made.

John 16:33 I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering, but take courage, I have conquered the world.

It sure doesn’t seem like it at times. This is a Bible promise that I must take on faith, and having done that, consider it a done deal.

Last word: This peace seems to flood in when I most need it, when I am not in my “natural” state at all.
