Day Twenty-five: Making Peace a Priority Seek peace and pursue it. —Psalm 34:14 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. —Isaiah 26:3 Does your home flourish under an atmosphere of peace? According to God’s Word, peace is something that must be sought, pursued, and focused upon. The way you live your life and relate to your husband and family will set the tone for your home. Likewise, you can encourage your husband to pursue peace. Praise him for his gentle spirit or his ability to diffuse conflict. Lovingly remind him of the power of his words and how much good can come from a wise comment. Thank him for being mindful to protect your family from negative entertainment options. Action Step: Pursue peace. Consider these check-up questions to see how well you are pursuing peace: Is your mind set to maintain peace through the words you speak or the attitudes you bear? Are you quick to criticize or be impatient or arrogant? Do you allow regular entertainment (books, shows, music, etc.) that is negative? Is the pace of your life too fast? Take time before the Lord to confess any sinful habits these questions exposed. And make the pursuit of peace a priority in your marriage and home to be an encouragement to your husband. A Wife’s Prayer Lord Jesus, You are the Prince of Peace and I invite You to reign and rule in my heart, in my marriage, and in my home. Guard my tongue and my mind from sinful habits. Help me to make peace a priority so that You a magnified.
