Create a peaceful atmosphere.

Create a peaceful atmosphere.

"Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts." Col 3:15 NLT

How much peace do you display? 

How well do you respond to the difficulties in your workplace? 

Are you always tense or complaining? 

Is your desk neat and organized, or are there huge piles of paper all around? 

Disorder can be mentally unsettling and stress inducing, and wear down your peace. What about your overall behavior; are you always fuming over coworkers' mistakes? 

Have you learned to stop sweating the small stuff? 

Have you stopped to think about what a poor testimony it is not to reflect peace, which is a fruit of the Holy Spirit? "The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control" (Gal 5:22-23 NLT). 

What about your daily drive to work? 

Do you sit down in your car with the aim of keeping a peaceful atmosphere no matter the circumstances you encounter on the road? 

When was the last time you prayed for a bad or unkind driver? 

Do you play calming music? 

The right music can be an excellent source of peace.  When King Saul was tormented by an evil spirit, his servants told him, "Let us find a good musician to play the harp whenever the tormenting spirit troubles you. He will play soothing music, and you will soon be well again" (1Sa 16:16 NLT). 

Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you" (Jn 14:27 NIV). 

That means wherever you go, you can take the peace of God with you.

Create a peaceful atmosphere

Stop sweating the small stuff.
