Have you ever attempted to balance a difficult equation? Thereโ€™s a lot more to it than simply getting the right answer. You need to understand the step-by-step process if you want to be able to apply it and find new solutions in the future. In fact, most solutions in life involve a process, and the idea of reconciliation is no different.

Itโ€™s not enough to know that reconciliation is the answer to disunity and injustice. We have to seek to understand and actively engage in the process. Reconciliation is the hard-but-good, messy-yet-beautiful, worth-it kind of work.

โ€œTurn from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it.โ€
Psalm 34:14

As a follower of Jesus Christ, you are not only called to understand and engage in the process of reconciliation; you are thoroughly equipped to be a minister of reconciliation. Scripture affirms that every believer is a minister of reconciliation, empowered by God Himself (2 Corinthians 5:11-21).

So how do we do that? Psalm 34:14 lays out a few steps for us:

TURN FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD. Turning from evil means both rejecting evil outwardly and addressing it inwardly within our own hearts. We confess the sin that caused the fracture by acknowledging our role in conflicts with God and others, and we turn from our old ways and actively seek peace.

SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT. Peace isnโ€™t the absence of conflict; itโ€™s the presence of restored harmony. Seeking peace means we arenโ€™t just peace-keepers; we are peacemakers who actively pursue being a part of restoration. We listen empathetically and strive for understanding. We see and are attentive to the brokenness around us and ask where God might be calling us to be a part of reconciliation. And we put in the work because this kingdom work is worth it.

Because of the reconciliation work of Jesus Christ, accomplished on the cross, reconciliation is not a problem to be solvedโ€”it's a process that youโ€™ve been invited to. Jesus Christ is reconciling the world to Himself. How will you join Him?

Paulโ€™s letter to the church in Ephesus lays a foundation for the power of salvation that is achieved through Jesusโ€™ death and resurrection. The core of the Christian faith is found in this event.

The forgiveness of sins that we experience as Christians came through the blood of Christ that was shed on the cross. Jesus lived a perfect life, and became a perfect sacrifice for the brokenness of all mankind. Without the shedding of blood, there would be no forgiveness of sins (Hebrews 9:22). And without the forgiveness of sins, we would not be able to approach our holy and perfect God. Jesusโ€™ life, death, and resurrection made a way for us to have a relationship with Him.

Jesus gave His life once and for all, which means that He doesnโ€™t have to die again. All of your sinsโ€”past, present, and futureโ€”are forgiven through Jesus. In fact, nothing can separate you from the love God has for you.

Paul says that all of this is in line with Godโ€™s grace and promises. All throughout Scripture God promises to redeem His people. He promises to rescue them and free them from their bo***ge to sin and brokenness. God accomplishes this through Jesus.

Think about Godโ€™s great love and grace for you. Do you feel forgiven and set free? Or are you weighed down by your mistakes? Spend some time talking to God, thanking Him for what He has done for you. Remind yourself of Godโ€™s promises. Ask Him to fill you with the knowledge of His love and grace.

For years, nothing in King Davidโ€™s life looked โ€œgood.โ€

His family underestimated him, giants despised him, and his father-in-law spent years trying to kill him. But the whole time, David clung to a promise that God would establish him, and make him king of Israel.

David never gave up or gave inโ€”he stayed close to God, and waited for Him to act. And when God acts, this is how David responds:

โ€œGive thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.โ€
1 Chronicles 16:34 NIV

Despite the pain David endured, he knew that even when life didnโ€™t look good, he still served his good God. And this same God actively fights for us.

Through His Son, Jesus, He has given us continual access to Himself. We can never lose His unfailing love toward usโ€”a love that endures forever, no matter what goes on around us.

David recognized this, and proclaimed it. And every day, we have the opportunity to do the same thing. Here are two practical ways we can respond to Godโ€™s goodness and love:

- Thank Him in Prayer
When Jesus was teaching His disciples to pray, He told them to start like this: โ€œOur Father in heaven, help us to honor Your name.โ€ Itโ€™s fine to ask God for things, but real relationships include both give and take. So at least once a day for the next week, go to God in prayer, and thank Him for something Heโ€™s doneโ€”without asking Him for anything in return.

- Share Your Story
The writer of Hebrews encourages us to honor God by โ€œproclaiming our allegiance to his name.โ€ (Hebrews 13:15-16) So what has God done for you? Where have you seen Him provide, protect, show up, or show off through your life? Look for natural opportunities to share what God is doing in you with someone else.

Right now, reflect on your life and thank God for His eternal goodness. Nothing you have faced or will ever face is too much for the God who loves you and died for you. Bring Him your concerns, surrender your expectations, and allow Him to reveal the evidence of His goodness in your life.

When we became Christians and first believed in Jesus, we began a journey of faith. We committed to becoming a disciple of Jesus, who follows His commands and trusts in Him.

The apostle Paul, in his instructions to Timothy, encourages him to fight the good fight of faith. This implies that the journey of faith will often be difficult. It will sometimes be messy, hard, and harrowing. Paulโ€™s words serve as a reminder that sometimesโ€”faith looks like a fight.

However, rather than a fight against people, this journey of faith is a fight for goodness, beauty, and faithfulness. We are fighting against our own broken natures, but also against Godโ€™s enemies within the spiritual realm.

Fighting often looks like making the right decision even if itโ€™s not the easiest decision. It might mean being gentle when we want to be harsh. It might mean choosing love when it would be easier to be selfish.

Fighting well means remaining faithful to Jesus over the course of your life. You were called to a new life in Christ when you came to faith, and you are called to remain faithful over the course of your life.

So how do you remain faithful? One of the ways you can cultivate faithfulness is by reading Godโ€™s Word every day. When you regularly spend time with Him, you begin to love what God loves, and hate what He hates.

But as you seek God in this way, itโ€™s also important to have friendships with people who can encourage you. Having two or three people in life who can help keep you accountable is a necessary part of your faith journey.

As you consider what next steps you need to take to fight well, remember that you do not fight alone. God is with youโ€”and when you draw near to Him, He will empower you with the strength you need to finish your faith journey well.

Where did the idea of a seven-day week come from? Throughout history, cultures have experimented with varying the number of days in a week, but the most enduring pattern for human work and rest is woven into how the Creator made us.

When God first created the world, He finished all He wanted to do in six days. He could have moved on to the next project on His to-do list, but instead, God intentionally rests and enjoys His creation. This is the standard pattern of work and rest created for us from the beginning.

How we create and produce reflects how we are created in His image. Just like God, we make things and name them. We work and then rest. When we intentionally stop working to enjoy the blessing of just being in a relationship with God, one another, and His world, we reflect His image, too.

When God rests, that does not indicate laziness or exhaustion from work. From the beginning, God models a rhythm of work followed by rest and reflection. Rather than pausing out of tiredness or when we finally finish our long list of projects, God asks us to plan a time to rest every week.

When it comes to knowing when itโ€™s time to take a break, choose the rhythms of our Maker over our exhaustion-driven routines. He intends to bless you.

Jesusโ€™ statement in Matthew 19:26 is often taken out of context. Many people have taken this verse to mean that they can do anything they want in life because God can do the impossible. Often this can lead to us asking God to do something selfish.

In order to understand what Jesus is saying, we should read the preceding verses. In Matthew 19:16-22, a young man comes to Jesus asking for eternal life. Jesus tells him that he must give up all of his earthly possessionsโ€”something the young man is not willing to do. Because he failed the test, the young man failed to inherit eternal life.

Jesus says in Matthew 19:23 that it is very difficult for a rich man to enter heaven. The point is that loving Jesus requires everything we are. Our ultimate love cannot be split between Jesus and something else.

The disciples then ask, โ€œWho can be saved?โ€ Jesus responds in Matthew 19:26 that it is impossible for man to save himselfโ€”but it is possible with God. God can do the very thing that man cannot.

We cannot earn our salvation. We cannot work hard enough to attain it, and we canโ€™t achieve it on our own. It is impossible. But with God all things are made possible for us to be saved. It is only through the work and power of Jesus that we have access to salvation. And through the empowerment of the Spirit, we are enabled to have faith in God.

What in your life is keeping you from faith in Jesus? Maybe itโ€™s a relationship. Maybe itโ€™s material possessions. Maybe it's a wrong mindset. Whatever it might beโ€”God has the power to remove these things from your heart so that you can have faith in Jesus.

So spend some time with God today, and ask Him to search your heart. Ask Him to reveal anything within you that is keeping you from loving Jesus better. Then, do something daringโ€”surrender those things over to God.

Honoring the Poor

How different would our world, communities, and homes look if we committed to helping the hurting around us?

The writer of Proverbs, typically considered to be King Solomon, penned these words:

โ€œIf you help the poor, you are lending to the Lordโ€”and he will repay you!โ€
โ€ญโ€ญProverbsโ€ฌ โ€ญ19โ€ฌ:โ€ญ17โ€ฌ โ€ญNLTโ€ฌโ€ฌ

There are those who are financially or materialistically poor. Maybe they were born into a cycle of poverty, have hit hard times, or are physically or mentally sick. But there are also thoseโ€”like Jesus mentioned in Matthew 5โ€”who are poor in spirit.

Giving generously to those in need, caring for the vulnerable, and living an open-hearted life is the call of every believer.

Jesus echoed this theme in Matthew 25, explaining that good works like feeding the hungry, clothing the needy, showing hospitality to strangers, and visiting the sick or incarcerated will not go unnoticed. In fact, when we do such things, we're actually serving Jesus (Matthew 25:40).

How wonderful would it be to end poverty, stop hunger, and witness the day when the world is entirely at peace? Eventually, Jesus will make all that is wrong right, once and for all. But until then, we get to keep serving Him and loving others every chance we get.

No one can do everything, but we all can do something.

Genuine followers of Jesus will be compelled by His Spirit to love the people Heโ€™s created. And if thatโ€™s not enough, we can believe Him when He says that He rewards those who seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

John put it this way:

โ€œIf someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassionโ€”how can Godโ€™s love be in that person?โ€
โ€ญโ€ญ1 Johnโ€ฌ โ€ญ3โ€ฌ:โ€ญ17โ€ฌ โ€ญNLTโ€ฌโ€ฌ

When we serve Godโ€™s people out of obedience, we're really serving Him!

๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚โ€™๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—™๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ

If youโ€™ve ever been in debt (or known someone who has), you know the impact it has on a person. When youโ€™re in debt, your money, time, or resources arenโ€™t your ownโ€”theyโ€™re continuously being taken from you, and often with interest.

No one wants to be enslaved to a lender, and yetโ€”every one of us has owed a debt we could never pay off.

The ancient Greek word for โ€œsinโ€ means โ€œto miss the mark.โ€ It was originally used to describe an archerโ€™s arrow that didnโ€™t hit the center target. In archery, it didnโ€™t matter whether your arrow was close to the mark or far from it. If you didnโ€™t hit the center, you lost.

In Scripture, the โ€œmarkโ€ is the standard God asks us to aim forโ€”but we all miss it. We miss it when we choose selfishness over humility, and anger over gentleness. We miss it when we lie, cheat, steal, slander, complain, and gossip. We miss it when we tear people down, and disobey Godโ€™s command to love others. Sin prevents us from becoming the people God created us to be.

But the good news is: Jesus saved each of us by sacrificing Himself for our mistakes. We couldnโ€™t pay off our debt of sin in a million lifetimes, but He freed us from it in one moment.

And because He paid our debt, He wants us to live as free people.

When we pursue anything that separates us from Godโ€™s Spiritโ€”whether through legalistic actions or lawless decisionsโ€”we act like Jesus hasnโ€™t set us free. But when we choose to love others like Jesus loved us, it shows we value Jesusโ€™ sacrifice and want to embrace the freedom He bought for us.

So how do we live free?

We accept that what Jesus did was enough for us, and then we commit to loving Him.

As our love for God grows, His Spirit helps us unconditionally love others. Instead of holding a grudge, the Spirit helps us forgive. Instead of hurting someone, the Spirit helps us encourage people. Instead of using people, the Spirit inspires us to humbly serve.

The more we love, the more we embrace our freedomโ€”and because of Godโ€™s love, nothing can take our freedom away.

"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." -Psalm 16:11

This joy is not a feeling you can force or manufacture on your own. It is the natural overflow of God's Holy Spirit living inside a believer.
