In today's society, strife seems to be a way of life for some people or countries. But, the Bible has a different take on this stressful way of life. Yes, strife creates stress for everyone involved. In Matthew 5:9, Jesus lets us know "Who" we are identified with when we are peacemakers. This verse states, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (KJV)”
To be known as a child of God is a great name and honored blessing to carry. Peacemakers seek out the good for his/her family, friends, their community, the church as a whole, and the world they live in. However, James 3:18 says, "And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. (KJV)” Meaning, those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of good things as well as justice. There are bountiful blessings through being peaceable. A peaceable spirit is a caring spirit. When Jesus walked this earth, He showed a caring and loving spirit. Have a joyous day!
Prayer: Jesus, I am grateful to you for giving me your peace, which passes all understanding. Amen!
