Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." Notice James doesn't say peacemakers harvest,…Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." Notice James doesn't say peacemakers harvest, he says they sow. Seed goes into the ground and disappears. You may never see what your gentle answer grew into. But you can't plant anything in scorched soil, and anger scorches fast.

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Father, there are days I feel like I don't belong anywhere, not even with you. But you keep speaking a…Father, there are days I feel like I don't belong anywhere, not even with you. But you keep speaking a better name over me than the one I give myself. Call me yours again today, and help me believe it when I hear it.
Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth." That is all we ever learn about them. No stories, no battles, no psalms.…Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth." That is all we ever learn about them. No stories, no battles, no psalms. Just brothers of David, counted and named and then silent forever.
God still wrote them down. Your life may feel like one line in someone else's chapter. He knows your name, and He kept it.

You never looked away from that suffering, and You do not look away from mine. My hard labor is counted, remembered, and held by You.

Plans, strength, even the things I thought would last. Thank you that your word outlives all of it. Hold me steady in what doesn't wither, and let me build my hope there.
