People who add unnecessary STRESS are #messmakers not #peacemakers. Don't let the STRESS of their MESS disrupt your PEACE.
Matthew 5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."
Whenever we are in the WILL of God and the TIMING of God, we will experience the PEACE of Isaiah 55:12:
"For ye shall go out with JOY, and be led forth with PEACE: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into SINGING, and the trees of the field shall CLAP their hands."
If your actions aren't causing JOY, PEACE, SINGING and CLAPPING...you're out of order and timing.
We cannot applaud what's flawed.
The Apostle Paul gave us such wisdom in 2 Timothy 2 when he passed on pertinent principles to Pastor Timothy. (Read this chapter and it will change the way you handle yourself in relationships, ministry and business.)
Here are a few passages:
23. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
24. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26. And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
A PEACEMAKER isn't a MESSMAKER.
Be assured, if you cause a mess for someone else you'll inherit a mess yourself. I believe God desires His children to just DO RIGHT. He had an intimate conversation with His creation when He spoke to Cain about his actions in Genesis 4:
6. "Why are you so angry?" the Lord asked Cain. "Why do you look so dejected? 7. You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be it's master."
Doing what is RIGHT is RIGHT.
Choose to be a PEACEMAKER not a MESSMAKER and you'll walk in the favor of Isaiah 55:12...JOY, PEACE, SINGING and CLAPPING! :)
