"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." -Matthew 5:9 (NASB)
Many of us know people in our lives that like to keep things stirred up. They almost seem to thrive on the misfortune and turmoil in others' lives. I have heard this type of person referred to as a "pot stirrer," someone that likes to keep the trouble going. Sometimes we may even get sucked into the action. There will always be turmoil and trouble in our earthly lives, but we don't have to "fan the flame" or "stir the pot!"
When we experience turmoil or witness unrest in others' lives, we can make a choice to keep it going or to help control it. We can choose to turn our lives and our problems over to God. We can learn to be at peace with ourselves and then extend this peace to others. Once we know God, we can be peacemakers instead of stirring up trouble!
Be a peacemaker instead of a pot stirrer!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and allowing me to know peace that can only be found in You. Help me to live in peace and to share Your love and peace with others. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
