Being A Peacemaker

Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, made a clear statement about peace.

Matthew 5:9 - Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

To be a peacemaker today takes both determination and intent. Peace doesn’t just happen! As a child of God, we have the peace of GOD within, we have the message of peace in our mind, and we have the love of God that compels us to NOT look the other way when PEACE is needed. If it is blessing we want in life, then maybe being a peacemaker is the sure way to receive it.

Today let this passage penetrate your heart and mind:

James 3:18 - And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of goodness.

Pray for opportunities to plant some seeds.

Let this verse keep you focused: 

Romans 14:17 - For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
