Real Dudes,
In Romans 12:18 (CSB) The Apostle Paul encourages us with these words, “If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” One author states that the phrase If possible, as far as it depends on you, “acknowledges the reality that peace is not always achievable due to circumstances beyond one's control. It emphasizes personal responsibility in the pursuit of peace, suggesting that believers should do everything within their power to foster harmony. This aligns with the broader biblical teaching that while God desires peace, human free will and sin can create obstacles.” It doesn't take long to either see or hear about a constant lack of peace in our world today. What role are you playing in all of this? What are you contributing to? As much as it depends on you, are you striving to live at peace with others, or have you gradually developed a divisive spirit without realizing it. After looking in the mirror, which side would you say that you find yourself on? What needs to change? Take some time to pray about this today and see what the Holy Spirit brings to surface that needs to be adjusted/corrected in your life. Practicing His Presence, Nate Titus 3:10-11 (CSB) 10 Reject a divisive person after a first and second warning. 11 For you know that such a person has gone astray and is sinning; he is self-condemned.
