Peacemakers Sow in Peace

Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. — James 13:18

Peacemakers are often few and far between.

People tend to get angry and lose their tempers very quickly at times.

Road rage has exploded into the supermarkets and onto the streets.

We often don't take time to listen to others before we write them off as too different from us.

But peacemakers who exhibit a life of peace show consideration for others.

They reap a harvest of righteousness.

Help me, Lord, to be a peacemaker for You today.  

Look at the Birds of the Air

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. — Matthew 6:26

God feeds the birds, even though they don't save or store their food.

They don't even plant or harvest it.

They don't worry about what's coming the next day or week.

But I tend to be selfish with what I have.

Storing up treasures on earth rather than spending time with God and His Word.

God cares for the birds.

How much more will He care for me.

And He does.

Faithfully.
