“Peace with God is a gift we receive through faith in Christ and is just the beginning of our new life. It forms the foundation from which we can grow through suffering as we cling to the hope of future glory. It teaches us to live like Jesus lived, who offered His life out of love for others and provides the peace we need.” Jed Ostoich, Our Daily Bread (fb)

This verse isn’t just a list of virtues - it’s a call to focus our hearts. And for those who follow Jesus, he is the embodiment of all these things: truth, nobility, righteousness, purity. When we fix our eyes on him, the rest begins to fall into place. In the midst of busy days and shifting headlines, we’re invited to pause and re-centre. May the mind of Christ, my Saviour, live in me from day to day, By His love and power controlling all I do and say. (fb)
