Counselors of Peace

—Dec. 13.2022

Proverbs 12:20 refers to “counsellors of peace”, and that one of the benefits to such people is joy.

Counsellors of peace are those who promote peace not just in their own lives, but in the lives of others as well. Those who consult the good of others, who advise to peace, agreement and harmony between people, unity; those who seek to cultivate it in their families, neighborhood and communities.

Rather than fretting about circumstances, counselors of peace find their confidence in God. Instead of complaining, they practice an attitude of gratitude (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

In this life, we will never find peace in and of ourselves, but only when we look to Him and His Word. We have peace when we have a relationship with God.

There is a happiness and contentment that comes to those who speak words of peace and they are able to give it to others.

(Prov. 12: 20)
