“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” Colossians 3:15

Our sense of peace can be dislodged and replaced by turmoil and confusion before we even realize it.  God’s Word puts it simply. In order to have God’s peace in our hearts we must make the choice to let His peace rule there.

As soon as you recognize irritation or turmoil taking over in your spirit, stop! Almost without fail you will find the peace of God gets pushed aside when anything that has “self” as its source surges forward.

•    Self-defence in a relationship results in turmoil.

•    Self-pity puts you on the slippery slope of discouragement.

•    Self-seeking in business, or even ministry, allows a shallowness to creep in that pushes peace aside.

•    Self-energy: seeking to live the Christian life in our own strength, leads to defeat.

As long as self is the focus in our thoughts and actions, there is little room for God to do His work in us and His peace cannot rule in our hearts. When we choose to let Him be the focus of all we do, drawing on His energy, His help, His wisdom, His patience, His purposes, then His peace will rule in our hearts.

Today, pay attention to what is going on in your spirit. If peace is eluding you, take a look inside and see where self-focus has taken over. Let God’s peace rule in your heart by bringing everything in your day under the umbrella of His care. It is the best way to live in peace!

Father God, today I ask You to forgive me for the places in my heart where I have allowed Your peace to be pushed aside by my own self issues. Right now I place everything I have and am and ever hope to be under the umbrella of Your care and attention. I choose to let Your peace rule in my heart today. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Thought: Choose to pay close attention today to what is going on in your spirit.

“Don’t be impatient. Wait for the Lord, and He will come and save you! Be brave, stouthearted and courageous. Yes, wait and He will help you” Psalm 27:14

Our surveys of hundreds of thousands of Christians throughout the world indicate that most Christians do not witness because of their fear. Even Timothy seems to have had the same problem.

His father in the faith, the apostle Paul, reminded him, as recorded in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind“. That is the reason our Lord promised, in Acts 1:8, “Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses“.

The Holy Spirit is the only one who can enable us to overcome fear. So, as we claim the promises of God and appropriate the fullness and power of His Holy Spirit, we can know that courage.

A Japanese schoolboy once showed his courage in a way that puts many of us to shame.

He belonged to a school in Nagasaki containing 150 boys, and he was the only Christian among them all. He brought his lunch to school, as he lived at a distance, and he dared to fold his hands and ask a blessing every day before he ate.

He had some enemies among the boys who went to the master of the school and accused him of ‘doing something in the way of magic’.  The master thereupon called the lad before the school and asked him what he had been doing.

The little fellow spoke up bravely, explaining that he was a Christian, and that he had been thanking God and asking Him to bless the food. At once the master burst into tears, putting his head down on the desk.

“‘My boy,‘ he said, ‘I too am a Christian; but I was afraid to tell anyone. Now, with God’s help I will try to live as a Christian ought to live.’ ”

Bible Reading: Isaiah 40:27-31

Today I shall, through the enabling of the Holy Spirit, be brave, stouthearted and courageous as I go forth to tell others about the Lord Jesus Christ.

³³ Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. ³⁴ It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

³⁵ “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. ³⁶ If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. ³⁷ What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”   Mark 13:33-37

When the alarm went off, I wanted to throw it across the room, but did not have that option, as I had an appointment and more than six hundred miles to drive. Staying up too late the night before was no excuse. As my bride says, “You can’t hoot with the owls and then soar with the eagles.”  I quickly splashed some water on my face, dressed, loaded the last baggage in the car, and headed down the road.

It was long before dawn, and as I drove, it seemed to be getting darker rather than lighter. I was struggling to stay awake, so I pulled into a convenience store for a cup of java. I was amazed; there were more than ten selections to choose from–various flavors and added ingredients.

But one pot caught my eye. It did not have a fancy name like the others. It was simply labeled ALERT! Alas, I had found my solution, so I purchased a jumbo cup and headed southward. Within thirty minutes, I was wired, and the yawns were a thing of the past in the rear view mirror. Wow, was I wired!

I thought about how the Bible tells us to stay on alert and to be on guard. Jesus said in Mark 13:9, “You must be on your guard.” He knew the risks, temptations and dangers of the world around us.

I enjoy watching wildlife in the woods. Whatever they are doing, they are always on the alert for dangerous predators and they are always looking for a place of security to run to. There are predators in our world, and so many snares and temptations. It is easy to get caught up.

The best way for us to be on the alert is to be grounded in God’s Word and to be ready to seek his security when we run from danger and temptation. As Jesus told us, we must always be on guard and alert to the ways of the world.

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:2-4

When our circumstances quickly turn into the perfect storm and life has dealt us a severe blow, it’s easy to think that some of us experience more trials than others or we seem to have more than our fair share of struggles.

James levels the playing field. He explains that all of us — without exception — will face trials of many kinds in this life. The trials are needed for our faith to be tested and proven true. The things that test our patience and endurance, like weights to a body builder’s muscles, develop our faith so that we learn to be resilient. Our need to persevere in trials, even suffering, is crucial. James explains that perseverance must finish the work it is doing. Perseverance must be fully experienced so that we will grow to be mature and complete. The Lord doesn’t want any of us lacking in any area of our lives.

We need a paradigm shift. Our Father loves us enough to not release us prematurely from our struggles, even if we beg. He knows they are needed to grow us. He will use them to do a work within us. He has a completely different perspective.

James invites us to alter our viewpoint when it comes to facing trials. Consider or think carefully about, contemplate, give thought to, reflect on all of the trials in your life. Ultimately trials are a gift — so much so, that we are encouraged to consider them “pure joy”!

We need to ponder that!

Father, thank you that you love me and you know that I need to persevere in order to grow to full maturity. You love me and are wise. No matter what I face today, would you give me the grace to see my struggles from your perspective? Would you strengthen and help me to persevere? Build my faith and character. Lord, help me ponder and consider my trials as pure joy. In the powerful name of Jesus, amen.

“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up…”  1 Thessalonians 5:11

When you need encouragement, where do you go? To a good book? To the Internet? There are many encouraging blogs such as this one. But sometimes you need more than words, you need someone with skin on. Someone who will listen to you, stand by you, pray for you, believe in you. Right?

I found this someone in Mr. Turner, a man in his eighties, who had served God all of his life. I would find his comforting notes in my mail box. He would call me by telephone to ask how things were going. Sometimes he would say, “If ever you need to talk, come over to our house. Mrs. Turner and I will be happy to see you.”

When I did go to their house, I was received with genuine pleasure and a cup of tea. Mr. Turner would position himself so he could hear me better. Then he would ask, “What’s happening?”

For one hour they would listen to me carefully. Then Mr. Turner would say, “We’ve heard enough now, Helen, let’s take it to the Father.”

Hushed I listened as this man and his wife thanked God for his abiding faithfulness to them throughout the years. They thanked God that he would be just as faithful to me. They affirmed me as a good person. They breathed hope into me that God would use even this experience for good in my life.

Before I left the safety of their home, my friends would give me some words of encouragement from the Bible, “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: ”(Psalm 37:5)

Gently closing the Bible, he would say, “Leave it in God’s hands now. He will work this out in due time.”

Can you be an encourager to someone today? Send a note, make a phone call, go for a walk, and above all, listen more than  talk.

The Best Word of Encouragement

Encourage One Another

The post Be an Encourager appeared first on Thoughts About God.

Empathy requires that we step outside ourselves. Empathy requires a level of selflessness that may be a hard reach for some. Once again, Jesus would be our example, who gave up His right to be God in order to be a human being. Jesus was in our shoes the whole time because He shed His God-shoes when He was born in Bethlehem (Philippians 2:5-8).

I can’t walk a mile in someone else’s shoes if I still have my own shoes on. I can’t put a shoe inside a shoe. If I could I’d be defeating my purpose. I would still be in my own shoes. I have to first take off my own shoes to get into someone else’s, and that is tantamount to getting outside of myself. Getting beyond my own self-importance. Making it more important to understand than to be understood.

This is a big step and hard to accomplish when I’ve been spending so much time wrapped around myself. This means I’m going to have to get away from my favorite topic — me — and on to someone else. Like that great Bette Midler line from the movie, Beaches, “Enough of me, what do you think of me?” Or the story about a friend of ours who was at his wife’s side while she was in labor, and at one point she said that she was cold, to which he replied, “Really? I’m not cold.” This would be a pretty clear example of a failure to have empathy.

These steps are pretty much common sense, but easily overlooked. I’ve tried having empathy when my mind is full of its own thoughts, points of view and rationalizations. Can’t do it. My own shoes are still on. Getting into someone else’s shoes involves a good deal of listening and paying attention. I’m not going to have empathy for someone if I don’t understand their situation.

I am one with my wife. If there is anyone I should have empathy for, it would be her. Am I seeking to understand her? After all these years, do I? Am I standing inside her shoes? Have her concerns become my concerns, even if they are things that don’t naturally concern me? Do I feel her pain? Am I doing whatever I can to alleviate it? Am I bringing her joy, because I know by now what does? Am I making sure she stays warm, even if I’m not cold?

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. BRomans 12:15-16

“When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.” Jonah 2:7

When Jonah Hit Rock Bottom

The prodigal son had to lose everything before he could “come to himself.” In a similar way, Jonah had to reach his lowest point. He found himself in the dark belly of a great fish.

Only then did Jonah remember the Lord and call out to Him.

A Painful Turning Point

My husband also reached a very low point when he was 26. He lost his job in a painful and embarrassing way. Soon afterward, he fell into a deep depression.

We used our small savings to move to a larger city. We hoped he would find better work there. However, his depression made the search difficult. He could only manage a part-time security job.

As his pain grew, so did his anger. His harsh words deeply hurt me. Finally, I took our two-year-old son and moved out.

The Wake-Up Call He Needed

Our leaving gave my husband the shock he needed. At last, he realized that he had hit rock bottom.

He humbled himself and returned to the Lord. In addition, he agreed to meet with a marriage counsellor.

Over the next several weeks, we talked and prayed together every day. Eventually, we renewed our marriage vows. By God’s grace, we have now been happily married for more than forty years.

Looking Up From the Lowest Point

People hit rock bottom when they reach the lowest point in their lives. At that moment, they may feel they have nothing left to lose.

For some people, this becomes a place of clear vision. They begin to understand themselves and their situation. More importantly, they see how much they need God’s love and mercy.

God can reach into the deepest pit. He can restore hope, guide us forward, and help us begin again.

If you are facing what seems like a hopeless situation, look up. Jesus is present, and He is reaching down to lift you.

A Prayer for Hope

Lord, may I never have to hit rock bottom before I see You clearly. However, if I lose my way in the darkness, help me look up. Remind me that You are near, and lead me back to You. Amen.

It’s All About Jesus

“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” — Matthew 9:36

Jesus the Compassionate Shepherd

Jesus the compassionate Shepherd sees us when we are overwhelmed, helpless, or unable to recover on our own. He does not abandon us in weakness. He comes near, lifts us up, and helps us stand again.

The speaker entered the room dressed as a sheep. After the laughter settled, she explained the relationship between a shepherd and his flock.

She described how sheep can sometimes fall and roll onto their backs. When this happens, they may be unable to right themselves. Unless the shepherd notices, lifts them, turns them over, and places them back on their feet, they can remain trapped and eventually die.

The image was humorous at first, but the lesson was serious.

Jesus the Compassionate Shepherd Sees Us

Perhaps you have seen commercials in which an elderly person presses an emergency call button and says, “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” A calm and compassionate voice responds by assuring the person that help is on the way.

Because I live alone, I have sometimes feared falling and being unable to call anyone for help. The speaker’s message reminded me that God sees me even when no one else does.

He is always watching over me. His care is not limited to physical danger. He also sees when I fall emotionally, spiritually, or mentally.

Jesus the compassionate Shepherd notices every place where we feel frightened, discouraged, confused, burdened, or unable to move forward.

The Compassionate Shepherd Restores the Helpless

In Matthew 9, Jesus looked at the crowds and saw people who were harassed and helpless. They were like sheep without anyone to guide, protect, or care for them.

Jesus did not respond with frustration or disgust. He did not throw up his hands and walk away because they had wandered or fallen.

He had compassion on them.

Jesus wanted to lift them, turn them back toward God, and place them on steady ground. His compassion was not passive sympathy. It moved him to teach, heal, guide, protect, and ultimately give his life for them.

He continues to show that same compassion today.

Jesus Helps Us Get Back on Our Feet

There are moments when we cannot fix ourselves, no matter how hard we try. Like a fallen sheep, we may struggle repeatedly without finding the strength or direction to stand again.

We may fall through grief, fear, disappointment, sin, loneliness, illness, exhaustion, or circumstances beyond our control.

In those moments, we should not assume that we must recover entirely through our own strength.

We were created to depend on our Shepherd.

Call out to Jesus. Tell him honestly where you have fallen and where you feel helpless. Ask him to guide you toward the help, wisdom, support, or correction you need.

Jesus the compassionate Shepherd will not shame you for needing help. He will meet you with mercy. He may lift you immediately, restore you gradually, or carry you until you are strong enough to walk again.

Trusting Jesus the Compassionate Shepherd

Trusting Jesus does not mean we will never experience weakness or fear. It means we do not face those experiences alone.

Our Shepherd knows where we are, understands what we need, and remains close when we cannot see the way forward.

When you feel as though you have fallen and cannot get up, remember that you are not invisible. Jesus sees you, has compassion on you, and is able to restore you.

A Prayer to Jesus the Compassionate Shepherd

Lord, thank you for being my Shepherd and for having compassion on me. When I fall, help me remember that I do not have to struggle alone. Replace my fear with trust and remind me that you are always near. Lift me, guide me, and carry me until I am strong enough to stand again. Amen.

Read: Ezekiel 36:25-28

A Heart That Responds to God

The Lord wants to give each of us a heart of flesh. In other words, He wants our hearts to remain tender, open, and responsive to Him.

When God touches a tender heart, it yields to His direction. Like clay in the hands of a potter, it can be shaped with care. Rather than resisting, a soft heart allows God to form it into the vessel He desires.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

God has given the Holy Spirit to every believer. Through His presence, we receive help to hear and respond to God.

As we follow His guidance, our hearts become softer. In addition, we become more aware of His leading. Each act of obedience also prepares us to understand more of God’s Word.

A tender heart accepts what God teaches. More importantly, it puts His truth into practice.

What Causes a Heart to Harden?

Resistance to God can cause the heart to become hard. For example, this may happen when we ignore His direction or refuse to deal with sin.

Those who remain close to Christ respond differently. When they recognize sin, they deal with it quickly. Afterward, they return to a place of obedience and fellowship with God.

Intimacy with Christ grows as we submit to Him. As a result, we become more willing to receive His correction, guidance, and blessing.

A Tender Heart Toward Others

People with tender hearts stay connected to the body of Christ. They also look for ways to encourage others and strengthen their faith.

Furthermore, they remain willing to learn. God may speak through Scripture, prayer, or another believer. Therefore, a tender person listens carefully and stays open to correction.

A teachable heart does not assume it already knows everything. Instead, it welcomes truth and allows God to bring lasting change.

Let God Shape Your Heart

This week, ask God to soften your heart as you read the Bible and pray.

When He reveals an area that has become hard, pay attention. First, listen carefully to His instruction. Then, rely on the Holy Spirit for the strength to obey.

Do not resist the work God wants to do in you. Instead, allow Him to shape your thoughts, choices, and desires. In His hands, your life can become a beautiful and useful vessel.

“And immediately they left their nets and followed him.” — Mark 1:18

Follow Jesus Immediately

To follow Jesus immediately means responding to his call with faith, obedience, and a clear sense of spiritual urgency.

I have often thought of the Gospel of Mark as the “book of immediately.” The word is one of Mark’s preferred terms when describing the actions of Jesus and the people around him. In the first chapter alone, Mark repeatedly emphasizes how quickly events unfold as Jesus begins his earthly ministry.

The message is clear: Jesus was on a mission, and there was no time to waste.

There truly was not.

Jesus had approximately three years to complete the work his Father had given him. During that brief period, he would proclaim the arrival of God’s Kingdom, bring freedom to those held captive by sin, choose and disciple a small group of followers, and prepare them to become his witnesses.

Ultimately, Jesus would pay the price for humanity’s sin and break its power through his death and resurrection.

Three short years changed the course of eternity.

Why We Must Follow Jesus Immediately

I am now sixty, and I hope to retire this year. My desire is not simply to leave my job. I increasingly long to make the remaining years of my life count and to invest them as strategically as possible.

That is why I understand the word “immediately.”

Every follower of Christ should understand it.

We may not know how many years, months, or days remain before us. Regardless of our age, our time on this earth is limited. Following Jesus is therefore not something we should continually postpone until life becomes quieter or more convenient.

To follow Jesus immediately is to recognize that today matters. There are people to love, prayers to pray, truths to share, needs to meet, and acts of obedience that should not be delayed.

Follow Jesus Immediately into the Harvest

In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus told his disciples:

“The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.”

Farmers understand that when a harvest is ripe, timing is essential. A ready harvest cannot be ignored indefinitely. If workers delay too long, the opportunity may be lost.

Jesus used this image to describe people who are ready to hear, receive, and respond to the good news of God’s Kingdom.

The harvest remains plentiful, and the need for faithful workers remains urgent. God calls his people not merely to observe the harvest, but to enter it.

Following Jesus Without Delay

Spiritual urgency does not mean living in panic or constant activity. It means remaining attentive to God and being willing to obey when he directs us.

The disciples in Mark 1 did not ask Jesus to return later. They left their nets and followed him.

Their response challenges us to examine the things we may be holding too tightly. Our “nets” may include comfort, routine, fear, career plans, possessions, personal ambitions, or the desire for approval.

What might Jesus be asking you to release?

Where might he be asking you to serve?

Who might need to hear about his love through your words or actions?

When Christ calls, the faithful response is not endless delay. It is trust expressed through obedience.

A Prayer to Follow Jesus Immediately

Lord, ignite my heart and open my eyes to see the harvest of precious souls who need to be brought in. Help me follow Jesus immediately and obey you without unnecessary delay. Use me and all your people for the work of your Kingdom. Wake us while there is still time. May we rejoice with full hearts when you return or call us home. Amen.

Thought: Identify one action you believe God has been asking you to take. Ask him for the faith and courage to begin today rather than waiting for a more convenient time.

Unbelievable peace is available through Jesus Christ, even when life feels uncertain, troubled, or overwhelming. His peace is not dependent on perfect circumstances. It is a lasting gift that calms the heart, steadies the mind, and reminds us that God remains present in every situation.

Be blessed today with the peace of Christ.

Be blessed with His peace that goes beyond human understanding—a peace that remains when questions are unanswered, circumstances are difficult, and the way forward is unclear.

The peace Jesus gives is not like the temporary peace the world offers. The world often defines peace as the absence of conflict or difficulty. Christ offers something deeper. His peace creates a calm and secure place where you can rest your heart, even while uncertainty continues around you.

Rest in God’s Unbelievable Peace

God does not ask you to carry every fear, solve every problem, or understand everything before you can experience His peace. He invites you to bring your concerns to Him and trust that He is still working.

Take a moment today to slow down. Release the thoughts that have been troubling you. Remember that you are held securely in God’s care. His presence is greater than the confusion around you, and His love is stronger than the fear within you.

Be blessed today as you rest in His unbelievable peace, untroubled and unafraid. Do not rush away from this place of rest. Linger in God’s presence and allow His truth to quiet your heart.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid.”

John 14:27

Jesus spoke these words to His disciples when they were facing uncertainty. He knew they would experience fear, confusion, and grief. Yet He assured them that His peace would remain with them. That same promise is available to everyone who places their trust in Him today.

You can read John 14:27 in its biblical context and reflect on the peace Jesus promised His followers.

A Prayer for the Peace of Christ

Father God, thank You for the peace that only You can give—a peace that goes beyond understanding, even in the middle of chaos. Help me release my worries into Your hands. Teach me to remain in Your presence and allow Your peace to penetrate my heart and mind. Help me trust You with what I cannot control or understand. May Your peace guard my thoughts and guide me throughout this day. Amen.
