Let the Peace of Christ Rule

Let the Peace of Christ Rule
The apostle Paul writes,
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." Colossians 3:15.
Today is the day after Christmas. It is a time I believe we should stop and rest in Christ.
Christmas here in North America has become highly commercial and sadly many Christians have become wrapped up in all of the buying of presents and putting on the perfect meal for family and friends.
It can all be quite stressful. Thus we should, I firmly believe, forget about the boxing day sales and take “some me time with Jesus”.
Take time to let the peace of Christ rule in your heart. To even gather with other Christians and be thankful for all you have, and all Christ has done for you.
To give praise to God.
We should as the Psalmist tells us,

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 

Worship the LORD with gladness; 

come before him with joyful songs. 

Know that the LORD is God. 

It is he who made us, and we are his; 

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 

Enter his gates with thanksgiving 

and his courts with praise;

 give thanks to him and praise his name. 

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; 

his faithfulness continues through all generations. 

                                                                   Psalm 100

Please if you are a follower of Christ Jesus take time to praise God this day.

Give Praise

Give Praise
The Psalmist writes,
“O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” Psalm 8:9.

I believe in God. I do not apologize for what I believe. My faith in God and the saving grace of Jesus Christ has been a part of my life since I was nineteen.
Today with this blog I simply want to express my praise to God and encourage others who believe as I do to praise God.
Psalm 111 states,

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; 

all who follow his precepts have good understanding.

 To him belongs eternal praise.” 

                                          Psalm 111: 10

In Psalm 100 we read,

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; 

give thanks to him and praise his name. 

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; 

his faithfulness continues through all generations.” 

                                                            Psalm 100:4,5 

Psalm 150 tells us,

“Praise the LORD. 

Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 

Praise him for his acts of power; 

praise him for his surpassing greatness. 

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, 

praise him with the harp and lyre, 

praise him with tambourine and dancing,

 praise him with the strings and flute, 

praise him with the clash of cymbals, 

praise him with resounding cymbals. 

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. 

Praise the LORD.” 

                      Psalm 150.

If you truly believe in God take time today to praise Him.
Please think about it.
