Kingdom Values

Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain to set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of ruin!" — Habakkuk 2:9

In our "dog eat dog" world, in our race to get to the top and leave all our rivals in a heap at the bottom, God tells us both "Whoa!" and "Woe!" He tells us to stop and realize that Kingdom values are different from worldly values — that there is no success without service. He also warns us that he will bring us to ruin if we ignore his values by placing ourselves above the well-being of others or pursuing our own success at the cost of our ethics.

Ways to Peace

. By Interceding
1 Timothy 2:1-2
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;   For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

. By loving the Word
Psalm 119:165
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

. By Seeking
Psalm 34:14
Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.

. By Righteousness
Isaiah 32:17
And the work of righteousness shall be peace;
and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Thought

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  To these I commit my day.  If I succeed, I will give thanks.  If I fail, I will seek his grace.  And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest. - Max Lucado
