There are many times in God’s Word were we His children are charged to seek peace. Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was to bring peace between God and man, and we are His ambassadors to continue to be vessels of peace. We know that God is our source for everything in this world and in the next and His promises allows us the benefit of hope. Having an attitude of peace not only allows you to fight the stimuli of the world with the scriptures but also allows to infect others with this attitude. When people around you see how you react to certain stimuli that would drive most crazy, they seek to find out what keeps you in this place and attitude of peace. We are then afforded a great opportunity by Dad to testify of the peace of the gospel of Christ. It first starts with our attitudes and allowing the world to see a difference not only in word or on Sunday but in the market place every day of the week. An attitude of peace may be all you need to lead the next soul to our Father!!! Have a wonderful life of attitude on purpose!!!!!
James 3
Two Kinds of Wisdom
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
