It always amazes me how much we can receive from just one or two passages of Scripture. As we all know, we can even read the same passage ten times, and receive something different, something specific to the exact situation we find ourselves in. That happened to me last night as I was reading. Here are the two verses that popped off the page and onto my heart:

Colossians 3:14 and 15:

Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

What an amazingly full set of Scripture. It’s like a candy bar with every imaginable sweet inside. In just two verses, we have 3 keys to our daily Christian walk:

1. Clothe yourself with love. Just like getting dressed, we choose to put on love. When picking out what shirt to wear in the morning, how about picking out love as well!
2. Let peace rule in your heart. Again, something we can choose. Are we going to receive Christ’s peace and let it guide our hearts, or are the troubles of the day going to steal the joy and peace that only Christ can give? Ask Jesus to speak the words “Peace be still” over your life.
3. Always be thankful. How much more light would we shine for Jesus is we thanked Him for every blessing, provision, step, mountain, and even valley that we go through each day. With this attitude, the world truly will know that Jesus changes everything!

So in this short passage, we have a daily “wardrobe” that we can choose to put on. Do yourself a favor today, and clothe yourself in all of God’s promises!
