Psalm 37:37, 38  
Watch the blameless and observe the upright, 
for the person of peace will have a future. 
But transgressors will all be eliminated; 
the future of the wicked will be destroyed. (CSB)

Here is a psalm for the days in which we live. It is as relevant now as when it was penned over two and a half millennia ago. These two verses speak to our current political climate, don’t they?

Martin Luther King, Jr. reminded us that the arc of history bends toward justice. Here we have God’s word on it.

Classify yourself: Are you a person of peace or one of those other guys? It’s a good time to choose the right team. To be clear, this is not about political parties. This is about ultimate reality. 

Here are thoughts to ponder: What does a person of peace look like? What does he do? How does he or she behave? What difference does this kind of person make in their homes, communities, and the larger world?

I will become a person of peace.

Our Father, empower me to live a peaceful life. Use me to bear your peace into every gathering. Make me a peaceful presence in every conversation. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
