"Peace-maker" By Diane Webb
Psalms 37: 37—"Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace."
Strive towards peace. You don't have control over the other person but you do have control over yourself. You do not have to respond in anger or criticism. You can respond in a peaceful way. Provide a good example for others to go by. Always be the one looking for a common ground. Peace is the best goal. Consider yourself a peace-maker not a strife-maker. You do not have to confront people. Let God do the confronting. You do not have to challenge people. Let God do the challenging. If given a choice always take the road that leads to peace. Jesus is your example to follow. He is the Prince of Peace. He came to the world to bring peace. Satan distorts the message of Christ and some people do evil in the name of God. This does not change the message of Jesus which is one of love and peace. Stay on the side of Jesus which is always the side of peacefulness. Anger is not of God but peace is. Do not be deceived by false prophets who teach hate and discord. Anyone advocating division among God's people is a false prophet. Go about your work today with peace as your ultimate goal. This is God's will for you today.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you once again for your word today. Thank you for the wisdom and discernment you have given me to use as I go about your work today. Help me be an instrument of peace today, Lord. I ask in Jesus' name, Amen.
