Week 17
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts." Colossians 1:27
If only that verse were as simple as it first reads. Read it again and key in on the word "rule." Really that verse is a continuing commitment that I turn over to the Lord and that is for Him to "rule" in my heart. What else fights for the throne of my heart and wishes to "rule" it? My plans, my way, my wishes, not to mention worries, anxiousness, and busyness. These things I put aside and once again surrender to His ways and lay my worries at the feet of Jesus. HE knows all things, He is the giver of peace, He is in control.
Father God,
Rule in my heart and let your peace be ever present and strong in my heart and through my life. One day has enough troubles of it's own, lest I worry about tomorrow's. Lord, help me to surrender all to you and rest in the truths of your power over me. Don't let my worries and busyness fight for the throne of my heart, but teach me to continually check my priorities and set you first in my life.
Lord I trust you with the timing of bringing Tarik and Elsa to our family. I trust you to be taking care of them wherever they are this day. Place a special someone near them to protect them and prepare them for joining our family. Thank you Lord for your compassion and love. Amen.
