BEING AN AGENT OF GOD'S SHALOM

1 Timothy 2:1-2 New King James Version
2 Therefore I [a]exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in [b]authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and [c]reverence.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY DEAR FRIENDS!!!
I often wonder what it was like for the Jewish captives in Babylon, especially after reading this letter from the prophet Jeremiah. I wonder what many of their reactions were to him stating to pretty much make yourselves at home and multiply and increase the population of the Jewish people. I bet some of them thought he was nuts! But there were others that heeded his words, because they understood that these words were coming from God, and I think they were blessed for it.

I think that's why this question from this morning's devotional is really challenging my heart, and I had to share it with you tonight. Please read this question very carefully, and I pray that God speaks to your heart through it.

When have you seen shalom restored?

As I was reading this morning scripture I was reminded of a few other passages of scripture that talk about how we are to conduct ourselves as Christians, especially how we are to conduct ourselves to those who hate us, and I really felt led of the lord to share this vlog with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you see just how important it is to be a godly, honorable, and cooperative influence to this world around us, while not compromising one's faith. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to be God's true agent of Shalom! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that God will use it to motivate your heart to want to be His agent of real peace to this lost world.

How might you use your time, talents, and resources to help your community?

Is God calling you to help out in a particular area in your community, that maybe you're hesitant to do so? Whatever that hesitation reason is, be willing to set it aside, and obey God, by using whatever talents, time, and resources that God has given you, and be that faithful help in your community. You have an opportunity, to create beauty and practice redemption in simple concrete ways where God has placed you, so don't waste that opportunity. Pray for those who are in authority over you, love and treat your enemies with respect, but most of all seek God's peace, and be God's agent of peace where you're at!

UNTIL SUNDAY EVERYONE:

HAVE A VERY SWEET EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
