“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.” Colossians 3:15 9 (NASB)
We find an interesting thought in our verse today. These words were written first to people who were familiar and acquainted with athletic contests in the Greek world. In these sports and games of that day there would be someone appointed to make decisions when questions came up. In the same way, we have umpires, referees and judges today keeping order in athletic contests. So, what we find our verse saying to us is that we should allow the peace of Christ to be our referee. We should use His peace to rule in our hearts and when there is a disturbing question about something, we should let God's peace make the decision. Instead of worrying about something we can not control, we can let God's peace control our thinking. That's what God called us to and it is our promise from Him that He will rule correctly on our behalf.
