"If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people."- Romans 12:18
If you've taken a look at the news, our country is in turmoil. So much anger, hatred, and strife. If we look ONLY at what's happening, we can easily forget that none of this has taken Abba by surprise. Jesus told us: "In this world you will have trouble, struggles and strife. But take hope! I have power over the world!" (John 16:33). Abba knew we would be a troublesome bunch before He spoke anything into creation.
Now...WE have a choice to make: 1. Take part in the chaos, or 2. Follow Abba's example. You see, Abba told us to focus on Him and because of that love would fill us and splash onto everyone around us. Our enemy is doing his absolute best to keep us from focusing on Abba. When we look at all that's going on in this country and world, we will begin to fear, get angry, and fall right into the enemy's trap. However, when we continue to focus on Abba and learn to pray for others (in spite of themselves and in spite of ourselves) we will know the peace that surpasses understanding!
Pray! Talk with Him! Tell Him EVERYTHING that is on your mind and heart! Empty yourself to Him! And you will find it easier to be a peaceful witness.
