Maintaining Your Peace
Ephesians 4:3
Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.
Points
The Scripture says, "Blessed are the makers and maintainers of peace." After an argument, we apologize, forgive each other, and make peace. That's important, but we need to be more aware of maintaining the peace. That means staying on the high road--biting your tongue, not arguing, not being sarcastic, doing the right thing when the wrong thing is happening. Maintaining your peace is much easier than always having to make peace, and with it, God brings His protection. He'll keep you from unnecessary trouble.
Say aloud
I am a peacemaker. God will bless me. Amen.
Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for the promise of blessedness when I take the high road and am a peacemaker in relationships. Give me wisdom to know when to bite my tongue and not argue or be sarcastic. I recognize the destructive power of strife and give no place for it. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
