Make up your mind to not be governed by the turmoil around you; don’t let the maddening things around you make you crazy too. Let Christ’s kind of peace rule your life. Let gratitude be your way of thinking; there are more good things to focus on in your life than what might be going wrong. Let the word of Messiah enrich your life. Don’t lose your song, may the melody and harmony of your heart birth a song on your lips. When you are serving Christ, do all for His glory. Know how to put Him forward while not promoting yourself. Be mindful of who you are promoting.
“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Colossians 3:15-17 ESV).
