Peace of Christ

I like to use The Message in my quiet time sometimes. There’s just something about the way the words come together in a way that isn’t as familiar that makes a passage stand out to me in a new way.
And the other morning I read this from Colossians.
“Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ–the Message–have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives–words, actions, whatever–be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.” Colossians 3:16 MSG
It’s a good word for anytime, but I thought it was especially significant as we begin the Christmas season. May we let every detail of our lives reflect Him this season!
