Reap peace
They will be my people, and I will be their God, because they will return to me with their whole hearts. ~ Jeremiah 24:7b (NCV)
You know the message that God has sent to the people of Israel is the Good News that peace has come through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Lord of all people! ~ Acts 10:36 (NCV)
KEY IDEA:
All people reap peace when they return to the Lord.
PRAYER:
Prince of Peace, thank you for establishing a peaceful way. Forgive me for trying to succeed in other ways. I need help in turning to you with my whole heart. I am embracing both your forgiveness and your peace. Jesus is Lord of all! Amen.
