Today's Favorite Verse: 1 Corinthians 7:31
"And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away."
Today, I read and listened to two contrasting things. The world's message is being driven by anger, pride, contention and seeking after revenge. Then an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, reminded us to seek peace and be not of the world. Which words will be enduring for all time? It doesn't take much imagination to see where both extremes will lead us.
"We know that world peace and harmony are not prevalent in our world today.
We are bombarded with angry, contentious language and provocative, devastating actions that destroy peace and tranquility. In my lifetime, I have never seen a greater lack of civility in our society.
Luckily, one of the most cherished titles of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is “Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). Ultimately His kingdom will be established including peace and love.
For us, personal peace—found in and through the Prince of Peace—can be achieved despite the anger, contention, and division that blight and corrupt our world today. It has never been more important to seek personal peace than now.
Gently the Savior reminds us, “Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me” (Doctrine and Covenants 19:23)."
