Proverbs - Making Peace with Our Enemies


Proverbs 16:7

 When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh
even his enemies to be at peace with him.

When we have conflict with people our first response is usually associated with how to react in the relationship.  We are directed here to turn our eyes up and seek to please the Lord in our lives.  Conflict can entrap us and distract us from what the Lord is calling us to do.  We must be careful to have our daily devotions when human conflict arises.  When there is conflict with our husbands, children or other people, we must position ourselves to hear from God and do what pleases Him.  This means not only pleasing Him in the relationships in which we have conflict but also in all the areas of our lives.  We are not promised we won’t have enemies but when our ways please the Lord we will at least have peace with them.
