Grace for your spirit. March 8, 2012

Grace for your spirit
When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverb 16:7

Time and time again in the Bible, we see the power of God working in many ways. In Genesis 26,King Abimelech didn't have any use for Isaac until he realized that that the Lord was blessing him greatly. Then he decided it would be in his best interest to make a covenant with the man the Lord loved. Nehemiah; had all kinds of opposition building the walls of Jerusalem. After completing the job in 52 days, his enemies realized that God's hand was with him, and the opposition ceased. Paul wrote that we should not be alarmed by our enemies but stand firm. When we stand firm and faithful, it is the best way to bring peace into our lives and theirs. Let's keep our lives pleasing to the Lord, and leave our enemies to Him.
