Across the Silence
I Peter 2:15, “For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.” ESV
Greetings friends! It is another day to be thankful and grateful that God allowed us to awake, to be alive in this moment. In today’s society Christians are told to be silent about God. So many evil things try to put the love of God under a cover like a lid! But God needs each of us to be that voice across the silence; to stand strong together to put an end to this negative world. In His word he had several writers tell the rules for bringing about goodness to a world lost. Peter spelled out how we are to follow laws and choose good leaders to bring about good things. He also told us that pursuing goodness would silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. God has a plan for all our good choices that will shut up those that are prejudiced against our spreading the good news of Christ. Our faith has lived throughout history and the devil has fought to stop the gospel by every means. God tells us that if we continue to do His will, those that seek to destroy by words or false narratives will eventually see the truth. When we continue doing good works, following Christ lead; those foolish people will be silenced. Peter also told us that when we live our lives showing integrity, kindness, while enduring evil treatment, people will see the goodness of God. This is why we must not listen to the platforms that bring negative issues, words, fake news. We need to be a united Christian family that shows the world God’s message. When we live, despite the harsh persecution, we send the message of resilience. When the evil naysayers see our courage they become silenced, speechless and see the visible goodness of God cannot be stopped. God has a plan, always had our journey created. He already knows the ending; His promises are being fulfilled; the end game is near. We as His body of believers need to keep being positive even in the negative; refuting the devil in every moment! Take today as your first, but never your last day, to keep doing His will and speak out across the silence!
