Promote Peace - Get Joy


December 14

Proverbs says there is joy for those who promote peace.  I really like reading Proverbs.  It’s full of great one-liners – truthful one-liners.

How do we promote peace?  P-E-A-C-E is another sentiment seen and heard everywhere at Christmastime.  It’s even written in lights on garage doors or rooftops.  World Peace is what many actually want for Christmas, so that our soldiers can return home, safe and sound, and the world can rest from war.

But to promote peace individually in our own lives so that joy can be ours?   How can we do that? I can think of another verse that says great peace belongs to those who love HIS law and nothing shall offend them.  Somehow, when we love His ways, His word, His character…we don’t get irritated and ticked off at others…and we don’t lose our peace.

“Promote Peace.” That’s the phrase of the day.  Go after HIM, fall in love with HIM, read HIS word and love it – and all offenses will be healed – and you will have JOY.
