Peace to this house

We live in a world that desperately needs peace. We not only hear about wars and conflicts between nations, but we are also surrounded by broken families where people, when they speak to one another, do so to shout and fight. It is a very sad and painful situation.

On one occasion, Jesus sent 72 of His disciples ahead of Him to the towns and places He was about to visit. Jesus saw the great need surrounding that region and sent them out. But first, together with the task, He gave them a warning:

He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.
- Luke 10:2–6

Jesus’ disciples went out like lambs among wolves, knowing they would face rejection. Bringing the message of peace would not be easy, but it was necessary. In the same way, today we are called to bring God’s message of peace to the world around us. The commission still stands, and we are called.

Wherever we go, some will accept the message of peace and see their lives and families transformed. Others will reject it and continue living in darkness, angry and oppressed. But we must fulfill our mission; we must proclaim the Lord’s peace to all who are willing to listen.

Let us ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers into His field, and let us be willing to go and proclaim God’s peace to this world that is so desperately in need of His presence and His peace.

Yesterday's Word

God can and wants to do more for you!

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
- Ephesians 3:20–21

God's love for us is so great that we cannot fully comprehend or measure it. What Christ has done for us, no one else could ever do: He saved us from eternal condemnation. We have received this deliverance through His grace, mercy, and love.

Now, Christ wants to do even more in you and for you. He wants to transform your life! To experience this, you must be truly open to His work. God loves you so deeply that, in addition to saving you from eternal death, He desires for you to live an abundant life, one filled with His presence and His love.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
- John 10:10

Are you living an abundant life in Christ? Let Christ dwell in your heart and allow Him to guide your plans. You will see God do great things in your life, and you will become a blessing and an encouragement to everyone around you.

God still wants to do great things in your life, don't stand in His way. Open your heart to the touch of the Holy Spirit and experience God's mercy every day. Your life will never be the same if you allow God to transform you and work in you each day.

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
- Lamentations 3:22–23

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Think before you speak

The Bible says that our words reflect our hearts. A heart full of good things speaks good things, but an evil heart produces evil words. Our words reveal our character; they can provoke arguments or bring reconciliation, cause problems or make life easier, condemn us or justify us. That is why it is important to learn to think before speaking and to know when to remain silent.

The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent…”
- Proverbs 16:23a

Learn to control your words. Do not be carried away by emotions, by the need to impose your point of view, or by the desire to impress others. Pray and cry out to God, asking Him to reign over your feelings and over every word you speak.

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
- Luke 6:45

Carefully observe what you allow into your mind and heart. Evaluate well what you read, what you hear on the radio, and the conversations you have with your friends. Filter carefully what you watch on television or on the Internet. Not everything is true, and not everything builds up. Use good judgment and seek to please God in everything you consume.

Do you set aside time every day to read the Word of God and talk with the Heavenly Father? Are you filling your heart with the Lord’s truth? Be wise in how you use your time and pay close attention to what you allow into your mind and heart. What is inside you will come out of your mouth. Think before you speak and live under God’s rule. In this way, your words will build others up and bring glory to God.
