Day Twenty-five
Seek peace, and pursue it.
(Ps. 34:14b)
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in
You.
(Isa. 26:3)
Before you consider whether these verses describe your husband, consider your own
presence in the home. Do you promote an atmosphere of peace, or do critical words
often flow from your mouth? Do you struggle with anger? If so, before you continue with
your Encouragement Challenge, confess these sinful habits to the Lord, and determine
to speak words of peace to your family today.
Does your husband bring an atmosphere of peace into your home? Is his presence a
calming influence? Does he bring music, entertainment, books or people into your home
that build a sense of serenity?
Let him know how much you appreciate this wonderful quality, and support his choices.
If, on the other hand, he is quickly angered or he creates chaos rather than calm, ask
God to give you an abundance of the kind of peace that will speak to his heart. Be
patient and loving. Create an inviting atmosphere of peace, as much as possible.
