> THE SHOES OF PEACE
>
> Ephesians 6:15
> Having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace
>
> The next piece of armor is the shoes of peace . When you receive Christ, 
> you
> are united with the Prince of Peace. You have peace with God right now
> (Romans
> 5:1), but the peace of Christ must also rule in your heart if you are 
> going
> to live victoriously, and that is possible only when you let the Word of
> Christ
> richly dwell in you (Colossians 3:15, 16).
>
> The shoes of peace become protection against the divisive schemes of the
> devil when you act as a peacemaker among believers (Romans 14:19).
> Peacemakers
> bring people together by promoting fellowship and reconciliation. "Blessed
> are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9).
> Anyone
> can divide a fellowship, but it takes the grace of God to unite us in Him.
>
> Too many Christians insist on common doctrine as the basis for fellowship.
> They reason that if we don't think the same and believe the same, there is
> no
> basis for peace. But common doctrine isn't the basis for fellowship; 
> common
> heritage is. We're all children of God. If you wait to fellowship with
> someone
> until you agree perfectly on every point of doctrine, you'll be the
> loneliest Christian on earth. Instead of insisting on the unity of the 
> mind,
> preserve
> the unity of the Spirit by taking the initiative to be the peacemaker in
> your relationships (Ephesians 4:3).
>
> Some people like to play the devil's advocate in their relationships and
> churches. I ask, Why? He doesn't need any help! In His high priestly 
> prayer,
> Jesus
> prayed, "I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be perfected in unity,
> that the world may know that Thou didst send Me" (John 17:23). We have the
> promise
> that "the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet" (Romans
> 16:20). Ask God to use you to bring unity to your relationships by making
> you a peacemaker.
>
> Prayer:
>
> Heavenly Father, use me today to bring unity to Your family. Enable me to 
> be
> a peacemaker.
