God Gives You Peace for Guidance

“And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.” (Col. 3:15 NLT)

Do you have peace about it?

Do you have a big decision to make? Maybe it’s a major purchase, or you’re considering a new job or partnership, or whether you should allow your kids to do something they asked for, or even something like choosing a vacation destination. Besides asking God to give you wisdom and insight about it (see Prov. 8:19), there’s a way to test to see if you should move forward with it, and that is to check for God’s inner peace about it. If you don’t have that, then stop! That may be a red flag and a warning that something isn’t right. So always let the peace of God rule in your heart (Col. 3:15).

Therefore

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7)
