Peacemaker: esteeming peace by ric gustafson
To have peace in our lives, we need to be humble and esteem others. We have an enemy and that is pride. God wants us to be humble and consider others higher than ourselves. Our flesh on the other hand thinks I am first not others. God's Word tells us to be humble in mind and think others better than ourselves. When our pride appears, we need God's Word to strengthen us.
Pride shows up when we do not want to admit fault or take responsibility for our actions. Ephesians 4 warns us not to grieve the Holy Spirit. We are not to judge others but we are to examine our own actions. We are to pray for others and not judge them.
Our pride cries that I am right but God wants us to be humble and think of others more than ourselves. If we do that, we will have peace in our lives.
