Devotion

Maintain Your Peace

Luke 2:14 (AMP) “Glory to God in the highest [heaven], and on earth peace among men with whom He is well-pleased.”

A cashier at the local craft store had a lady customer try to force her to ring up her merchandise faster because she had somewhere else to be, and she didn’t want to be late. The customer vented her anguish toward the cashier, while the cashier did her job with care and kindness. After the transaction was complete, the customer snatched her packages up and made a smart remark at the cashier. Later on when the cashier left work and arrived home, her husband surprised her with a party to celebrate her having recently earned her degree in Business Management. He invited his boss to the party to say some inspiring words to his wife. His boss happened to be the rude lady customer from the store! The cashier smiled with humility and looked her husband’s boss straight in her eyes as she stood speechless and ashamed in that moment. Won’t God do it, y’all? He will make the crooked places straight, and He will make the enemy your footstool! Come on, now! It gets tough sometimes, but do your part. Remain humble, and maintain your peace. The Lord will defend you!
