Choose
Peace

Today's
Scripture

“Strive
to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and holiness
without which no one will [ever] see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14).

Today's
Word from Joel and Victoria

Holiness
is so important to God. The Bible says that holiness is the key to seeing the
Lord. When you obey the Word of God and allow Him to work in your life, you are
pursuing holiness. You will see the Lord working in your life. Notice this verse
starts by saying that we should live at peace with the people around us. When we
have peace in our lives, in our homes, and in our relationships, it opens the
door for God to work. But when we have strife, bitterness, anger or resentment
in our relationships, it blocks God’s blessing. Remember, when it comes to
disagreements in relationships, it doesn’t always matter who is right, it
matters what is right. And choosing peace is right. Is there someone in your
life today that you need to restore peace with? A simple act of kindness, a note
or small gift, can open the door for restoration in your relationships. Step out
today and let the peace create a foundation for the blessing God has in store
for you!

A
Prayer for Today

Father
in Heaven, today I open my heart to You. I choose Your way of peace. Show me how
to live at peace with the people in my life so that I can honor You in
everything I do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
