Today's Favorite Verse: Ezekiel 45:9
"Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD."
This made me think of President Nelson's general conference message to be peacemakers. It's the same call when you remove violence, and greed. It's a people called to stop warring with one another. It's a people needed in order to receive the King of Kings.
"Contention drives away the Spirit—every time. Contention reinforces the false notion that confrontation is the way to resolve differences; but it never is. Contention is a choice. Peacemaking is a choice. You have your agency to choose contention or reconciliation. I urge you to choose to be a peacemaker, now and always."
(President Russell M. Nelson, "Peacemakers Needed", April 2023 General Conference)
Urge, now and always are pretty powerful words coming from a prophet. The word NOW was used 9 times in his talk. We better make the right choice now to be peacemakers or we will lose the Spirit.
