Turn away from evil and do good . . . seek peace, and follow after it.—1 Peter 3:11
Brainy Tip: We can choose to be at peace, regardless of our circumstances.
Each of us has our own electrical chemical balance where we are at peace. We need to constantly seek after this peace by remembering that we cannot control our circumstances (life and people) but we can choose to control our reactions (attitudes) to those circumstances.
The more we seek out and follow this peace, allowing it to guide our thinking, the more we will turn away from “evil” reactions such as bitterness, hatred, and unforgiveness, and the more we will manifest God’s goodness in our lives through our wise decisions and reactions.
