We love this verse! The apostle Paul wrote about letting the peace of God rule in our hearts. And then he also said to be thankful! Being thankful to Jesus and cultivating a spirit of trust and gratitude can actually facilitate peace in your heart! What are you thankful for today? Join us in praising Christ for His many blessings!
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
— Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) —
An old song says “Why worry, when you can pray?” Sometimes we fall into the trap of worry, and forget to cast our cares at Jesus’ feet. If we ask Jesus to increase our faith and trust in Him, He will absolutely answer that request! Why don’t you join us in praying the prayer for increased faith today?
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.”
— Mark 11:22 (NKJV) —
Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat,
and the burden of the day
One of our favorite Christian music groups is Glad. Glad is known for their acapella singing and their amazing musical harmonies. The music video below is Glad’s medley of Beneath the Cross of Jesus; Man of Sorrows, What a Name; and We Will Glorify. As you listen to this beautiful music, we invite you to ponder Jesus’ sacrifice for us on the cross and the gift of eternal life that He offers to all who accept Him.
I grew up singing the hymn “Give Me the Bible,” but recently this song has taken on a new significance for me. I’m currently reading a book that discusses how most people in the Middle Ages did not have access to the Holy Scriptures. Since the December 2 incident, I have been depending so much on the Bible. Passages I’ve read before have taken on a whole new meaning now. I’m so grateful that I live in a day and age when I have the Bible in my own language! What a blessing!
Give me the Bible, holy message shining,
Thy light shall guide me in the narrow way.
Precept and promise, law and love combining,
‘Til night shall vanish in eternal day.
