“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God” (Matthew 5:9).
Peacemakers are those who endeavor to promote peace. When it comes to peace, we can either be part of the problem or part of the solution. The choice is ours.
Today’s verse tells us we can be happy and blessed if we are peacemakers. We will be following the example of our heavenly Father. Peacemaking allows us to “be called the children of God.” The latter is the greatest blessing of all.

PRAY TOGETHER: Pray for Free Will Baptist brothers and sisters in Cote d’Ivoire who are still feeling the affects of this year’s governmental overthrow. Ask God to grant them grace and skill as peacemakers during these difficult times.
