Bible Verses:
The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Psalm 29:11
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Psalm 34:14
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God

Ephesians 4:26

Devotion:
I would like to talk a little bit to you about Peace. Our world right now is crying out for peace. Let us consider our lives, is there peace in them? Are we being peacemakers or are we simply causing strife with our words and actions? Jesus is a peacemaker, Jesus is what brings peace. We are supposed to be like Jesus, thus we should be peacemakers. Are we being peacemakers in our homes with our parents and sibilings? I don't have siblings, but I have friends with sibilings that I need to be at peace with as well as others I know. We also need to be at peace with our parents!!! Is there an area in your life where you are struggling with being a peacemaker? Give that area over to God and ask Him to make us peacemakers. With His help we can become Peacemakers.
Standing on the word of God,
Deborah Martin
