There is a lesson in
this scripture,
one of many, truly,
in the life of Paul
and our own faith journeys
We are freed of chaos
our sinful bodies are released
from the power of sin
in giving up control,
in submission to God
We receive peace
we gain control of lives of grace,
when we lay down our
crowns
and pick up the cross
of Christ.
