• SOWING SEEDS OF PEACE

  Peace is a noun, but the Bible verbs it. It tells us to extend peace, pursue peace, love peace, make peace, establish peace, preach peace, proclaim peace, seek peace and speak peace. If you seek to do these things each day, you'll be constantly sowing seeds of peace.
  
   
  
  Love and Obey the Word of God
  
  We sow peace into our home when we love the Word. Of course, if we love the Word of God, we will want to read it and impart its truth to our children.
  
   
  
  Psalm 119:165 says, "Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing causes them to stumble."
  
   
  
  Isaiah 48:18 says, "Oh, that you had heeded my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea."
  
   
  
  It is not always easy to obey the Word of God. God's ways are usually the opposite of the way we feel, but obedience always bring peace.
  
   
  
  Start sowing seeds of peace. The more you sow, the more you will reap.
  
   
  
  We will discuss more peace seeds in the next couple of weeks.

  PRAYER:
  
   
  
  "Lord, I long for peace. I hate it when there is tension in my home. Please help me to daily sow seeds of peace in my home. I know it won't happen unless I make it happen and start doing something about it. Amen."
  
   
  
  AFFIRMATION:
  
   
  
  I am a Peace Sower in my home.
