So let’s strive for the things that bring peace and the things that build each other up. ~ Romans 14:19 (CEB)
KEY IDEA:
Everyone is better off when we prioritize peaceful relationships and lifting others up.PRAYER:
Jesus, you are the Prince of Peace! And even though you are all-powerful you are patiently working out your salvation of peace in the world -- and in my life. Thank you for not squishing me under your powerful thumb. I deserve squishing. I strive for power and I have little patience for those who annoy me. Help me to prioritize peace and the well-being of all people -- including my enemies. I'm going to follow Jesus in his peace-making mission -- starting now. Amen!
