TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you"
Luke 6:28
TODAY'S WORD:
Over my lifetime I have found myself and my calling to be that of a "peace maker" which is not always well received by all. I've also learned that some people are "peace stealers". They feel like it's their calling in life to aggravate you, try to make you look bad, and tell you what you can and can't do. You know the ones I'm speaking of they are always barking out orders to you saying "you need to do this" or "I need you to do that". They'll try to bait you into an argument to get you upset, annoyed and frustrated. But don't take the bait! Nothing is worth losing your peace over. I repeat "Nothing" or "Nobody" is worth losing your peace and salvation over. They may think they're getting the best of you, but in the end, God can use that to take you higher. When people come against you, choose to keep your peace. Choose to forgive. Pray for that person because that's how you disarm the enemy against you.
Selah people' and friends scripture says your battle isn't against flesh and blood. In others words, that person isn't your enemy; the accuser—Satan—is your enemy. He's trying to bring division and get you upset.
Remember my brothers and sisters when you choose to keep peace, when you keep walking in love and keep a smile on your face, you are overcoming his tactics. That's how we win. Today, choose peace, choose to walk in love, and choose the victory God has prepared for you!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father, thank You for giving me Your peace and strength today. I choose to hold my peace and bless those who come against me. I choose to walk in love and forgiveness so that I can honor You in all that I say and all that I do. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
In Christ service,
