Peaceable
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. Titus 3:1-2
Today's world is full of videos of people not subjecting themselves to authority figures, which usually results in a bad situation for them, however if they would have been peaceable it could have been very different. What does being peaceable look like to you? For me it all starts with the attitude that I carry, and it also has a strong sense of kindness and care as a part of what being peaceable may look like. Usually people who are angry have a hard time seeing the good in others and can tend to cause havoc in a relatively peaceable situation. Those who have peace in their heart can usually look for the good in others, but it doesn't always happen for us that way. We can work on being peaceable each and every day by looking to others and the goodness they provide, and also by looking at them through the eyes of God. God sees all of us as His children, and maybe if we looked at others in a kind and beautiful way as we did as children, maybe we would have a better world.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
