Global Peace

Global Peace

"Whatever you have learned or
received or heard from me,
or seen in me—put it into practice.
And the God of peace will be with you."
(Philippians 4:9)

            There are almost 300 million people in America and billions worldwide. As individuals we are not statistically significant overall. We all know that statistics can be manipulated and are often misrepresented. Within our Christian faith, each of us is significant to God. In many of Paul’s letters he advised that "God will be with you". I will add; personally, up front and close.
            As statistically insignificant as the mathematicians make us, God gives us meaning, power and faith. We are the Power of one. As Christians, we can impact the world one individual at a time through our faith. When we demonstrate that we are at peace, we infect those around us. When we demonstrate good Christian ethics, we lead others to follow us. When we are at peace, others want to join us.

            We have an opportunity through our faith to be at the top of a living pyramid scheme. One of peace and love! Each day we are at peace through our faith we will positively affect our environment. Our challenge as people of faith is to work our peace and show our love so others will join us.

Thought for Today: It is challenging but exciting to think that we can affect others with our positive actions. This week let us consider others and by example, share our hope a regarding our future.

Prayer: Heavenly Father we see and hear ugliness in the world daily. The mid-east is in turmoil, many streets are not safe and there are many negative financial issues within our institutions. Our world is un-godly in many ways! We pray for understanding of your role and that we may help resolve issues through our Christian faith. We pray for peace on earth.
Amen
