Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer
Today’s Reading: Psalm 35:22-25
Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God
(Matthew 5:9).
LORD God,
help me to be a local peacemaker in my world today—
someone who builds bridges
between people and communities.
Amen.

Kindness or Revenge
Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right
in the eyes of everyone.
If it is possible,
as far as it depends on you,
live at peace with everyone.
Do not take revenge, my dear friends,
but leave room for God’s wrath,
for it is written:
“It is mine to avenge;
I will repay,” says the Lord.
On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this,
you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.
(Romans 12:17-21 NIV)*
Whoever does not love does not know God,
because God is love (1 John 4:8 NIV)
