Reducing Enmity - Proverbs 16;7
The bible said so much about enemies and we see so much of their activities on earth today. Some enemies operate in secrecy, some openly. Enemies are dangerous and they make life a battle field. But some people are so enemy conscious that a good chunk of their lives is spent on defending themselves and a little time is left to do gainful work of service to God, family or the society. God expects us to live in freedom rather than fear. We are enjoined to ''Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and not to be entangled again with the yoke of bondage''-Gal 5;1. Our verse for today makes it clear that God can reduce enmity when we live a life that pleases him. So instead of spending our time searching, fighting and defending ourselves fro enemies, we should seek ways to live a God-pleasing and God-honoring life. When we do, He makes even our enemies to be at peace with us.
Questions
1. How does God make enemies to be at peace? 2 Chronicles 20;27-30, 1 Chron 22;9
2. How can we live a God-pleasing life?
3. Why are they so much enemies?
4. Who is our chief enemy and how can we defeat him?
Prayer
That the Holy spirit help you live a God-pleasing life on daily bases. That God fights your cause as you seek to please Him more everyday.
