Everybody here will see that the Lord doesn’t need swords or spears to save his people. ~ 1 Samuel 17:47 (CEV)
Those who make peace sow the seeds of justice by their peaceful acts. ~ James 3:18 (CEB)
KEY THOUGHT:
God's justice is counter-intuitive because it comes through peaceful action.PRAYER:
Jesus, you are the Prince of Peace. I confess, though, that I give into the temptation to set things right through power and control -- sometimes violent words or actions -- all of which feels justified given the situation. Help me to see how I can make things right by sowing seeds of peace. I need some guidance in adopting this counter-intuitive approach. I'm looking forward to real change -- starting with what you are going to do with me. Amen.
