Peaceful People – Romans 12:18

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

So, are you living in peace with everyone? Sounds easy on the surface, but we all know that this can be a task in itself. Why? This is because there seems to be so many people who thrive off of making a commotion. Who thrive off of cutting people down because they don’t agree on something someone else believes in. So many people claim they are believers and pursue His ways, yet they don’t think twice at cutting other believers down.

How is that living in peace with others? Well, I’ll tell ya. It’s not. These people create tension, unnecessary strife and discord in the body of Messiah. And for what? To make themselves look good by putting others down?

Do we really think that YHWH approves of those cut downs and mocking? Allow me to remind us of a verse we covered before.

Matthew 12:36 - But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

Live at peace with everyone.

Let this be a focus in your time of meditation throughout the day. Until next time, Shalom.

Which is why we must be in the Word daily, put the flesh to death daily, and be led by His Holy Spirit. Great post!

Excellent comment and SO true. We MUST be in HIS word everyday. It is easy to be distracted by the world!

howdy sir simms50! yes sir, it's dang near a constant struggle just to live in peace if you are out in the world and working, especially in a city. Mrs. J and I are always catching each other in things we say or the way we say them because we are very careful with our words because they are powerful. great lesson today sir!

Words are powerful and it is nice to hear that you two are working together to try to be obedient to HIS word everyday!

howdy again today @simms50! yes sir, it is SO effective when a couple works together! do you and your wife do that or something similar?
