TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest"
Exodus 14:14
TODAY'S WORD:
My friends in life, we're always going to have critics. We'll always have difficult people who try to upset us and steal our peace and joy. I see it every day in our businesses, schools and yes even in churches but, you don't have to respond to every critic that crosses your path. You and I can decide to take the high road and let God fight our battles for us.
Sometimes, no matter what you say or do, there are people who aren't going to accept you. They just don't want to be at peace with you. In fact, when Jesus sent out His disciples to certain homes, He told them to always speak peace over those homes. And then He said, in effect, "If they don't receive the peace that you're offering, then it will come back to you." I'm not sure how you take that but that tells me, if you will do your best to be at peace with people, even if they won't take your peace, the good news is that peace will just come back to you. You'll not only get your peace, but you'll get their share as well! That's double for your trouble!
Selah people' and friends I remind you today that when you do the right thing no matter what is happening, God sees it and rewards it. So choose peace today throw it out there and walk in the blessing He has for you! If we do this in His name we can truly be a blessing for others and that blessing will return to us.
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father in heaven, I choose to hold my peace. I choose to do the right thing even when the wrong thing is happening. I trust that You are fighting my battles for me. I give You all the honor and praise and choose to walk in peace today in Jesus' name. Amen."
Your brother in Christ,
