Day 21

1 Corinthians 14:33a ~ “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.” (NIV)

The enemy does not want you to have peace. He is not pleased with the fact that you are trying to live your life right, so he tries to stir up confusion. He wants there to be division within your family, so he’ll try to turn them against you. He wants there to be discord in your friendships, so rumors and lies are told about you. He wants there to be strife on your job, so he’ll cause a co-worker to do the one thing that will set you off. He wants you to be caught up in as much confusion as possible. I want to remind you today that God is not the author of confusion; He wants you to have peace. The devil, however, wants the exact opposite and the closer you get to God, the harder the enemy will work. All you have to do when confusion arises is pray and seek God. Keep doing what He wants you to do and He will turn things around in your favor. When man’s ways please the Lord, He will make even his enemies be at peace with him (Proverbs 16:7)
