Reading through the Scriptures this morning I paused in several different places, reading and re-reading the verses, then saying “Lord, let it be as Your word says”.
You remember the words of the Beatles song – let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be, speaking words of wisdom, let it be. There is no other place that we should go for wisdom than to the word of God.
Let it be!
In light of all we hear and see these verses are so pertinent.
“Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking. It is for peace that you were chosen to be together in one body. And always be thankful. 16 Let the teaching of Christ live inside you richly. Use all wisdom to teach and counsel each other. Sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 Everything you say and everything you do should be done for Jesus your Lord. And in all you do, give thanks to God the Father through Jesus.” Colossians 3:15-17 ERV
Peace in Christ should rule our thinking.
Thankfulness should always be in our hearts.
The Word of God should live richly within us.
Everything we do and say should bring honor to the Father.
The Father has placed these things within us – peace, thankfulness, His promises. There is one more verse I would like to add to these.
“Let your light shine in front of men. Then they will see the good things you do and will honor your Father Who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 NLV
We should be a shining light for all to see.
I can’t help but think that the light Jesus was referring to was the peace, joy, thankfulness and the promise we have from the Father. In all these things we are a conduit from the Father to those around us. When they see these good things, our Father will receive honor.
Say with me, “Lord, let it be”!
And you, my friend, are the perfect example of His light. I love you.
I love you too and am sending prayers of blessing your way.
