Hello sisters!
Greetings in the name of Jesus our Saviour! A bright sunny new day has dawned here and I get to live on this earth again as the Lord willed! Sometimes you just wonder what's the one and only most important thing and purpose in life. We know God made us so we ought to look to Him for answers of course!
This scripture surely can help us on that!
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
Today, I'm sharing scriptures to encourage us to keep being peaceful!
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.Matthew 5:9
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;Hebrews 12:14-15
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:18-21
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
1 Timothy 2:1-6
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
James 3:17-18
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.2 Corinthians 13:11
It is God's clear way that we be not quarrelsome but peaceable. And that takes control of our flesh and we know self control is a fruit of the Spirit. There could be some very difficult circumstances some saints may be in to practice that but God's ways are so good when followed! Reminds me of these too...
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.Proverbs 15:1When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.Proverbs 16:7
Yet we know people may still hate us for the truth's sake but people do often appreciate when we follow God's ways of love, mercy, patience, kindness, forgiveness and such. Glory to God for His high and holy ways! May we keep seeking them diligently.
Love, mercy, and peace in Christ our Lord.
