There is a lot going on in the world today. I see a lot of people commenting in a way that often adds fuel to existing fires.
With all the confusion, fear, and hate that is out there, as a Christian, how will you respond?
Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called children of God." Matthew 5:8 (NIV)
I think about when Esther, in the book that bears her name, became queen. She had the opportunity to save a nation, but was afraid of the possible consequence to herself (death). Her guardian, Mordecai, told her,
"For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?" Esther 4:14 (NIV)
What will you do with the opportunities you are given to be a peacemaker?
Were you made for such a time as this?
