When Peace Becomes Our Posture, Heaven Governs

When Peace Becomes Our Posture, Heaven Governs

Scripture

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”

— Colossians 3:15 (KJV)

Ponder This

Peace is not a feeling we wait for, it is a posture we choose. The posture we take determines what governs. When peace becomes our posture, Heaven governs. Not because circumstances change first, but because alignment does. Scripture tells us to let peace rule. That means peace must be permitted. It is a choice, not a reaction. The word rule means to govern, to preside, to decide. When the peace of God rules our hearts, it signals trust in Our Father’s authority rather than dependence on our own striving.

Striving creates noise. Peace creates order. And order is the environment Heaven moves in. Jesus modeled this posture. He moved calmly in urgent moments, remained steady under pressure, and acted only in step with Our Father. His peace was not avoidance, it was submission. His posture was that of peace. Our Father's will flowed through Him without resistance.

Peace does more than calm the heart; it unifies the body. We are called to peace. When peace governs us individually, it stabilizes us corporately. Gratitude with joy then becomes the strength of overflow with evidence that trust has taken root. Now, wonders can manifest.

When peace rules:

• Fear loses influence

• Discernment sharpens

• Trust deepens

• Authority clarifies

Peace prepares the atmosphere where Heaven governs.

Prayer

Our Father, we choose to let Your peace rule in our hearts. We lay down striving and welcome Your order. Unify us in peace, anchor us in trust, and teach us to live with gratitude and joy; finding rest for our souls and teaching others the way. We desire for our posture to invite Heaven’s governance in every area of our lives. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
