Colossians 3:15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Application:
When you are committed to setting your mind “on things above” (3:2), God will give you the peace of Christ—inner calm despite challenging circumstances—to help affirm your decisions and life directions. If you lack that peace, something is out of alignment. Therefore, for peace to reign, you must allow the word of Christ to dwell richly (3:16). The Word of God must be at home in you, welcomed into every part of your heart.
When I visit members of my church, they say, “Make yourself at home, pastor.” But they don’t want me going into every room and doing whatever I want! God’s Word, on the other hand, must have access to every part of the house of your heart—every bedroom, closet, and attic. You might have junk and dirt in places you don’t want God to see. But rest assured: He already knows about it. And if you let Him, He can clean it up.
Our psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs are meant to be directed toward God and one another. Through them, we worship our Lord with gratitude and also teach each other biblical truth.

When God inspires me, I write blogs. Consider this writing as a Bible study. Like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, search the Scriptures to determine whether what I write is so. Always consult with your church ministers about biblical matters. I am also not a professional writer, so some grammar or spelling errors may be present. I try my best to write as efficiently as possible. Your brother in Christ, Ricardo
