Colossians 3:15-16
Amplified Bible (AMP)
15 And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].
16 Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts.

Rather than give a full recap of my day, I'll just start where I am...and that is in a fragile state of being. Not fragile in the sense that I can be easily broken in a negative way, but fragile in a way that makes me vulnerable to the slightest shift in the spirit; causing me to lose myself in worship and thanksgiving. My heart sings songs, the tears are creeping up toward the surface and my thoughts are consumed with the surpassing greatness of our God. What brought this on? What caused me to shift from my typical state of mind to this on-edge state? Perhaps it was the realization of ALL that God has done not in MY life, but in the life of those around me. Perhaps it was the meditation on the possibilities that exist...the open doors that lie before those who follow God. It's all so overwhelming for me today. It's PEACEFULLY overwhelming. My heart is glad as I consider who God is and as I consider the place that I'm in, I found these verses that help to paint a picture of where I am. I believe that every promise IS true...every Word spoken SHALL come to pass and THIS assuredness strengthens my hope, lifts my spirits, washes over my heart....and causes me to be on the edge of 'in'. Let the scripture above wash over you today. Meditate on it. Write it upon your heart. Be encouraged by it. Have a wonderful day!
