Good Morning All!! Most of the times family issues get messy,...and families in the Bible were no exception. But in spite of people's selfishness, scheming, and jealousies, God continues to work with, and through them. Reading the Bible gives us all hope, that God can and will, work through and within, even our messy families, as well.
If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.—Romans 12:18 (NRSV)
The Bible tells us to be peacemakers, to stop slander (Col. 3), to control our anger (Rom. 12:19), to pay back evil with good (Rom. 12:17, 21). Working for peace, especially in our families,...is a key to allowing God to work through us.
God calls us to be peacemakers,
...especially with those closest to us,
...like family.
Thank You, God, for the gift of family. Help us see them through Your eyes, seeking and moving towards peace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
"Ignoring problems instead of fixing them is tempting and easy,
...but easy never gets the job done."
