This is what the LORD over al the army of heaven declares: "Through the temple of the future I will be giving my people peace." ~ Haggai 2:9 (ABP)
Paul wrote: Practice these things: whatever you learned, received, heard, or saw in us. The God of peace will be with you. ~ Philippians 4:9 (CEB)
KEY THOUGHT:
Look only to God as the source of enduring peace.PRAYER:
Lord God, thank you for sending Jesus the Prince of Peace to challenge and defeat the war mongering forces of the devil. I confess that the relational and political climate stirs violent thoughts in me that occasional spill out as violent words. Forgive me and help me to put the Jesus-defined life into practice so that I can experience the peace of your presence without interruption. Amen.
