Many Christians believe a sense of peace is a sign that they’re following God’s will. But sometimes tranquility is actually due to us feeling satisfied about a choice we have made. How can we tell the difference?
Today’s passage talks about letting “the peace of Christ rule in your hearts” (v. 15). This kind of settledness originates from Jesus. The word peace means to be bound or woven together in harmony and oneness. So to have God’s peace about a matter means your decision must be aligned with His will. The only way to determine this is by comparing your thoughts and choices with His Word. Are you thinking the same way He does? Did you make your decision using scriptural principles or your own human understanding?
We may want a quicker method for finding an answer, but God molds us gradually, day by day, as we read the Word and let its truths sink into our mind.
Building a foundation of God’s truth takes time and consistency. With His instructions as your basis, you can make decisions with confidence, knowing you are following His will. Then you’ll have a sense of oneness with the Lord, and His peace will guard your way.
Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 15-17
Thought for Today: If you want God’s peace, spend time in His Word and align your choices with His will.
