THE SEED
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16
We live in a world that is looking for peace. Most people are disconnected from peace on a daily basis. Our lives are surrounded by and often filled with turmoil and uncertainty. Everyone and everything is trying to dictate who we are, what we do, where we do it and ultimately who we become. Life is filled with moments and even cycles of storms and disarray. There are some people who even manufacture the storms in their lives. Not only does God want us to find peace, He ultimately wants us to live in peace in every aspect of our lives. In the scripture above, Apostle Paul prayed for his church to live in peace. He knew that they already had peace in them that they could cultivate and enjoy with one another. Dearly beloved, as a child of God, that prayer also goes to you, so that you can enjoy peace and share that peace, including the peace message of the gospel, with people in your sphere of influence. While you do this, your family, your community, and the nation as a whole will live in peace.
BIBLE READING: Romans 12:18
PRAYER: Power to live in peace with men, grant unto me in Jesus name. Amen
