If you haven't been keeping up with it, there have been more protests and violence in parts of our country. While I fully believe that there is a place and time for standing up for what you believe, I also believe it is to be done peacefully. I don't see how you expect to gain peace by acting a fool and creating chaos.
What I have read this morning is that there were over 100 arrested last night as the protests proved, once again, to be less than peaceful. Once again, while there is a time and place for standing up for what you believe, if it's not done peacefully, all you have is anarchy, which leads to anything but justice and resolution.
With these uprisings and unrest in mind, today's word is Philippians 2:14 - 15a, NIV, which reads, "Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure..."
While everyone may think that the violent protests attract attention, it does; and, gets their point across, it doesn't. If we truly want to take a stand, we must do it in a way that proves that GOD is with us. GOD is not the author of confusion or chaos, satan is. So, if all we are doing with our protests is creating chaos and confusion, it is not of GOD.
So, let's do things GOD'S way so that others will find us blameless and pure and a light in this dark and evil world. If we do that, we may find that our protests prove more fruitful and actually accomplish something other than confusion and chaos.
Be Blessed,
