Colossians 3:15 says “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts”. The Greek word for “rule” is brabeuo – to act as an umpire. God’s peace doesn’t just comfort. It decides. Lack of peace is data, not disobedience.
Scripture: Colossians 3:15, Philippians 4:6-7
Action: Think of one decision. Rate your peace 1-10. If it’s below 7, don’t decide yet. Pray “God, give me Your peace or block this door.”
Reflections:
What decision am I forcing without peace?
What would “waiting for the umpire” look like today?
Where have I called anxiety “faith” before?
