PROMISE #173 - JUNE 22
Promise #173:
I will bless the peacemakers and call them My children.
Matthew 5:9 (WEB)
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.
How do you think a father feels when he sees his children fighting in his home? As a father myself, I know how grieved I feel when I see my children not getting along. A father's heart yearns for peace and harmony for his children.
When I think of this promise, I feel encouraged that there is a blessing for us when we love peace and do everything in our power to live harmoniously with those around us. Sometimes, it simply isn't possible, but as far as it's within our control, may we be a people who cherish peace. In today's promise, we read that the children of God will be peacemakers.
Since we are united with Jesus, who is the Prince of Peace, let us strive to bring peace wherever we go. Let us be instruments of peace in times of turmoil. May the peace that surpasses all understanding guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. My heart's cry is for all of us in the Body of Christ to nurture peace wherever we roam.
***
Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank You for the peace that surpasses understanding, guarding my heart and mind in Christ. I pray that this same peace will overflow to those around me, allowing me to be an instrument of Your peace wherever I go.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
I will bless the peacemakers and call them My children.
