We all need some reminders about Christ's peace and how to attain it. In the craziness of this holiday season with dinner parties, Santa events, and of course shopping, let's dig a bit further into peace and what God's word says about it.
Let's make peace with others. To have a more righteous character, God asks us to be the sowers of peace. Try your best to get along with others in peace today and always. Pray to God for help with this.
Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness (James 3:18).
If you want more peace in your life, spread it. The ending result of peace in one's heart is a life of joy. Doesn't that sound wonderful...more joy too.
Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy (Proverbs 12:20).
Live a life without sin and folly, and you shall have peace. The more you align your life with God's word, the more peace you will have in Him. A life of this world full of sin will definitely not reap peace. We must LISTEN and then DO as God instructs us to live....as faithful servants.
I will listen to what God the LORD says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants--but let them not turn to folly (Psalm 85:8).
I hope you find more peace this holiday season than ever before with God's help!
Merry Christmas,
