An annoying app on my phone called NextDoor is anything but neighborly. It pretends to be a kind of neighborhood watch for the 21st century. All I have seen is people complaining. Today, someone ranted about the use of salt to melt snow and its negative impact on the planet. I had to stop myself from offering that I had slipped and fallen on our shoveled but unsalted driveway. The snow had been removed, but the melt had become glossy, unseen ice. Boom! I wrenched my back, knee, and shoulder. Sometimes, a little salt is actually good!
I deleted the text and moved on. God calls us to do the same in life. Seek peace and pursue it. Scroll on by on Facebook and X. Don’t engage in things that will only cause trouble for you and others.
More often than not, what we don’t do has the most impact. We live in a very divided and angry world. People clawing away at each other, to what end? Is anyone happier for it? Instead, do as the Lord commands. Turn away from evil. Search for peace and maintain it. Show the world God’s love. Everyone will be better for it.
IT'S A HARnDen LIFE...
