栽种和平
“并且使人和平的,是用和平所栽种的义果。”
雅各书 3:18
冲突导致混乱。一方与另一方的对峙,明目张胆的触犯条约,使这个世界动荡不安。因为无休止的争吵和打斗,人们流离失所,背井离乡。
国与国之间的战争,家庭内部的争端都是如此。我们今天的世界充满了太多的纷争。
当那些自称跟随上帝的家伙也朝人群中投掷手榴弹的时候,这个世界更加惶惶不得终日。基督徒不要自以为公义就揭竿而起。基督徒本身不是世界的救世主。基督徒应该背起十字架,凭着信心和忍耐,在冲突中播撒和平的种子。愿你成为栽种和平的人。愿你在动荡的世界里,独树一帜,做和平的使者。
今日祷告:
主耶稣,愿你的和平掌管我心,让我可以给人带来和平 安宁的确据。阿们。
June 11 – Plant Peace
And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.
JAMES 3:18
Clashes create chaos. One side pitted against the other. Flagrant fouls fueling frustrations. Places where people argue and fight around the world inevitably become riddled with landmines and disturbed by displacement.
This is true for wars between nations and even disputes within a family. There is too much quarrel in our world today. When people who say they are followers of God throw grenades into the mix, the world stumbles even further into battle. No one needs Christians to add to the agitation that already exists. Retribution and followers of Jesus do not make a redeeming recipe for the world. What is needed are individuals, armed with kernels from Jesus, who will patiently but confidently sow peace among those in conflict. Become a person who seeds peace today. Resolve to be a refreshing presence in the midst of the strife.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, let your peace reign in my heart so that I can bring calming assurance to others. Amen.
