Wisdom And Peace From Living Right

People who wink at wrong cause trouble, but a bold reproof promotes peace. Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil; joy fills hearts that are planning peace! A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones. When people’s lives please the Lord, even their enemies are at peace with them. (Proverbs 10:10, 12:20, 14:30, 16:17 NLT)

It’s little wonder that while in addiction our lives were filled with problems and unrest. How many times did we overlook wrong, plot evil, tell lies, and look with jealousy at what others owned or had accomplished? Now in recovery we say we want the benefits this new life with God has to offer, but sometimes we don’t trust that good things will come unless we use some of our old ways to get them.

Health professionals around the world confirm the claim of the above Scripture verses, that as we live peaceful lives we experience health in our bodies, and when we live stressful lives, we tend to get ill.

And this righteousness will bring peace. Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever. (Isaiah 32:7 NLT)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Your will and Your ways are continually proven to work. Thank You for the peace and stability You give me as I turn my will and life over to Your care and choose to follow You in all my affairs. Amen
