God’s Hope for Your Heart from Colossians 3
JESUS IS YOUR SOVEREIGN PEACE
And let the peace of Christ rule in your heart, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. (Colossians 3:15)
You never saw it coming.
It’s that phone call you never thought you’d receive, that news you never imagined you’d hear. It’s that conversation you didn’t expect to have, that tragedy you thought could never happen to you.
But it did.
In times of shock and sorrow, it’s all too easy to surrender to the pain. Despair creeps in, and fear rises up to take control of your heart.
But that is not what God wants for His children!
In Christ, God has promised that no matter what chaos goes on around you, you can experience His peace within you. He has promised to never leave nor forsake you, so when darkness threatens to take control, you have a choice.
You can let fear rule your heart, or let faith take its place. You can surrender to despair and let it drown you in sorrow, or surrender to Jesus and let Him lift you in His strength.
When tragedy strikes and you’re feeling overwhelmed, take heart. Remember that God is still in control, He is still good, and He still loves you. Fix your eyes on Jesus and let this truth give you power to press on.
Jesus is your sovereign peace.
