A Daily Devotion for Friday, February 25

Romans 14:17-19

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.

This last verse, or last sentence made me think today. If I choose always to act in a way which I believe encourages peace, there will still be some who are unhappy. The key is probably in the first verses, “righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.“ When I live with the Holy Spirit guiding my choices, I am doing the right thing.

On an important side note, I believe the Transformers have brought unity to Pastor Savoy’s charge. We have a personal connection now, and I feel an investment in how you are all faring in Goffstown. I think about you, I have been in your place of worship, and I have prayed with you. I have never had this sort of relationship with a sister church. ❤️

Father God, thank you for bringing us together as Transformers. We are all your children. We all know and love you, and now we know and love each other. Let us continue to build unity. Amen
