Be At Peace

1 Corinthians 10:23-24


" All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. ²⁴ Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being."




(Romans 13:10)  " Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."  By our world not walking in one mind, one heart, one spirit, we slow each other down.  From the upward call of the glory of God.  Verse 23 says, "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify."  We run around hating our police and government.  But truth be told.  In this day and time, we would have destroyed each other by now.  All that we see and hear, and its chaos.  Is because we haven't been trained in word or love.  So we can't give sincere edification, to the true Living God or each other.  Verse 24 says, " Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being."  We all have been given gifts, to search and find.  Then build for the glory of God.  If all had one common goal in mind, eternity.  It would make life much more simpler.  And much more enjoyable.  However, the spirit is willing but our flesh weak.  Which is why we must first seek the Living God.  Mind, body, and soul, loving others as we love ourselves.  That He may show up to confirm, our living is not in vain.  This will give us complete comfort in His Word.  As it continues to conform us to His Will.  (Zephaniah 3:17-18)  "The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”  “I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly, Who are among you, To whom its reproach is a burden."  Our governments have been appointed.  And God will deal with them as He sees fit.  But in the mean time.  We must comfort each other and edify our God.  That we may be at peace.


(Exodus 14:14)  "The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace."  


Blessings to all who comfort each other in God's peace,
