“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18 NIV)
Did you know there is strength in living at peace? That’s why the Lord commands that we live at peace with those around us. When there’s strife and contention, then the enemy has an open door to move in your life. But when we are at peace with those around us, we are in a position of strength.
Being at peace with those around you doesn’t mean you have to agree with everyone. It simply means you are walking in love. It means you are patient and kind, not envious, not boastful. It means you are considerate, kind, and gracious because of what the Lord has done in your heart.
Sometimes taking a step backward isn't that bad, because by doing so, you're also trying to extend peace to those around you. And as you do, you’ll live in a position of strength and walk in the daily blessing the Lord has in store for you.
