Paul wrote, Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking. How does this happen? Well, the answer appears in the next verse.

Let the word of Christ dwell in your richly in all wisdom, teaching, and admonishing one another.

Don't treat scripture like a guest, an occasional visitor, or temporary roommate.

His truth sits at the dinner table, lingers in the living room, and is welcome in the bedroom,

and it occupies its place richly. It pays dividends. It brings benefits. Ingested scripture is vitamin C for the inner person.

Now, Satan is allergic to God's truth, and when you speak scripture, he skedaddles. He hopes you never hear these words spoken by Jesus.

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
