Peacemaker: a priority peace

Peacemaker: a priority peace by ric gustafson


Everyone has priorities every day. Some are good options and some are not. When we are setting up our priorities, we need to remember that Jesus is the holding power in our lives. Colossians 1:17 says ' and in him all things consist'. To have peace, Jesus has to be our top priority.
God wants us to seek his kingdom and one way is to establish grace as a priority. Grace's simple fact is that Jesus loves me and that he gives me unmerited favor and graciousness. God wants us to have peace in our lives while he takes care of our needs. God wants us to trust him and not worry or be frustrated. We cannot have perfect peace if we are worrying all the time.
I Peter 5:6-7 says ' cast the whole of your care on him'.  God needs to be the top priority in our lives at all times. When we do that, we will have peace.
