Today's Favorite Verse: Job 13:5, 8, 13
"O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will."
Job is very bold as he testifies of his confidence in the Lord. I love how he tells his friends to hold their peace, and not contend, and in particular with God. That is advice we heard in general conference. This is the best advise and can keep us out of trouble.
"How does a peacemaker calm and cool the fiery darts? Certainly not by shrinking before those who disparage us. Rather, we remain confident in our faith, sharing our beliefs with conviction but always void of anger or malice.
Peacemakers are not passive; they are persuasive in the Savior’s way.
There are times when being a peacemaker means that we resist the impulse to respond and instead, with dignity, remain quiet."
(Elder Neil L. Andersen, "Following Jesus: Being a Peacemaker", Apr 2022, General Conference)
