Everyday Umpire of Peace

The umpire in a ball game decides if a player is “in” or “out.”  Peace is to be the umpire that decides if something in our lives should be in or out!  It makes total sense especially if you look at the Bible in Colossians 3:15 “Let the peace from Christ act as umpire in your hearts deciding and settling all questions that come into your mind.” 

I mean really do we receive the peace He has to give, or do we count on our feelings?  When the answer is “no” I KNOW because I don’t have peace.  “Do you think I should take this additional job?” was the question asked me by a young mom.  Things were tight financially, but the long hours would affect her family. My first thought was, “Yes,” But later, I thought, “Would this choice bring peace?”  Rhonda didn’t have peace. She refused the job and almost immediately help came in a way she never expected. God is so good…everyday.
