Today begins the
rest of your life.
Be sure it's God's
best for your life.
Many rumors circulate online and offline about it: But passivity is not peace. Posting is not a substitution for everyday peacemaking, positive actions. Busyness is not necessarily accomplishing God's business. This is why we must be careful and prayerful to stop and listen to God's Word. Pray and obey out of love and not legalism.
As Christians, we are to overcome evil with good. "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). With God's help, we can!
Ask Him to show you what He wants you to do today. What is it that He has been pointing out to you in His Word yet you've allowed yourself to excuse instead of act? This is a question each of us must ask.
In addition to not equating passivity as peacemaking, we must pause to consider our activity: Is it something which is good or is it God's best? Only God's Word can direct us to His best. He is so generous and gracious to offer us wisdom when we ask Him! "If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5, Amplified Version).
Today begins the rest of your life. Be sure it's God's best for your life. Trust in Christ. And act accordingly. Amen?
