Do What Leads to Peace and to Mutual Edification
It’s not everything you do that is beneficial to you and those around you concurrently. Sometimes, you’d have to give up a habit you’ve learned from home.

All the paths of wisdom are peace, the Bible says. That means if you don’t have peace within you for that decision you want to take, it’s not wise to pursue it. Otherwise, you’ll sign up for future hurts you could have avoided.
You can enjoy God’s peace right amid your life’s storms. But you’ve got to be intentional about prayer and supplication. And when you do, you’ll get the divine enablement to go through every life challenge without a scratch of worry and anxiety in your mind and heart. Because the Lord God will settle and guide you in everything you’ll present to Him.
Many people battle with anxiety in this world. But that’s not God’s will. In Philippians 4:6-7, Paul teaches us how not to be anxious about anything. I think studying about it in this article will help you.
To have a life of peace, accept Jesus today, and embrace His peace in as your spiritual inheritance in you so passionately. You’ll not be intimidated by the issues of life.

The Bible says that an underserved curse does not come to rest. Such a curse is compared to a fluttering sparrow (a sparrow always moving back and forth without rest); it’ll never work because it has no root.
So many things people see as earthly have spiritual meaning to them. If only we would study the scriptures and possess spiritual understanding, it’ll become easy to distinguish what’s flesh and what’s from the Spirit.
Even though we were created in Christ unto good works (Ephesians 2:10) and doing good by faith is to please the Father, Jesus knows that we are living epistles in this world. He knows some people will only get converted by the exemplary attitude of Christians around them. That’s why with whatever we do, we must factor in how it affects others.
During Jesus’ time of earthly ministry, the Israelites used to pay temple tax before entering the synagogue. In the context of Jesus’ spiritual understanding, it wasn’t right for God’s children to pay tax before entering the temple to worship. He knew this, but the Pharisees didn’t. Nevertheless, in order to avoid causing offence and to maintain peace, he performed a miracle, got money out of a fish’s mouth and paid the tax for himself and Peter. At that moment, Jesus valued peace more than his knowledge [Matthew 17:25-27]. Not everyone has your level of spiritual understanding. Deal wisely with people.
Emphasising forgiveness is very important in our relationships with one another. No matter what you do, people will offend you.
