"And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever." -Isaiah 32:17 (ESV)
I was recently talking with a colleague about the different personalities we experience in colleagues and students. Some are quiet and content to fade into the background, doing what they need to get by without being noticed. Others want to be front and center and will make every effort to be the loudest, most important person in the room.
Often our lives involve the need to navigate personalities and egos. Whether we want to blend in or get everyone's attention, we need to act with grace and in God's righteousness. When we choose to call on God, accept His forgiveness, and try to live righteous lives, we can prepare for the effects of righteousness. We can prepare for peace and and enduring quietness and trust that can only come through God!
In all your interactions with others, find peace, quietness, and trust through living in God's righteousness!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for taking away my sin. Help me to live in Your righteousness and to experience the peace, quietness, and trust that only You can provide. In Jesus' name pray, amen.
