Ephesians 1:
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;  17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,


DAY 18—Discovering the Peace that Wisdom Brings

 

It’s marvelous when finally we settle into an embrace of the wisdom that is from above and it brings peace into our very own beings. Before we open ourselves to this wisdom, there is often turmoil, confusion, indecision and general unrest. But the wisdom God gives us is just the opposite. It is disposed toward peace—peace within ourselves, peace in whatever family we may have, peace with whomever we might associate outside our family, even peace with those who want to cause us trouble. Try it! You will see this is so.

James 3:17a—But the wisdom that is from above is...then peaceable...

Isaiah 9:6—For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor (Counselor of Wonders), The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  

                                                                                      

FATHER, heal the wounds in our spirits that cause us to hold on to old hurts. Release in us the wisdom that will enable us to live peaceably with others. Release Your peaceable wisdom into the lives of these others in our family. Heal their hurts so peace can come. Here are these that I name before You. I call Your peace into them, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Peace, the Fruit of Righteousness —James 3:18; Matthew 5:9; Romans 12:1
