Good morning, this

is Topher from Washington Church of Christ bringing you a positive message

minute.

It's a little

tougher to be positive when your news feed over the last 24 hours was flooded

with graphic evidence of the destruction of the innocent and the harsh

realities of retaliation.   I have my

opinions, but I am no expert in the areas of international justice or peace, so

my opinions will at this time remain my opinions.  Yet I am qualified by God's calling to share

with you that Justice and Peace have struggled on opposite sides of picket

lines many times in the history of our broken world.  Will the world ever find balance between

Justice and Peace?

There is one Bible

verse that brings my heart joy in such times as this as it points forward to a

time that I know with certainty is coming. 

I long for this day when Isaiah 32 speaks of a King who will rule in

righteousness.  In verse 17, it says

this, "And the work of

justice shall be peace, and the service of justice quietness, and security for

ever." (Isaiah32:17) - What a comforting and positive thought that scripture

brings!  Today, let's combat the

negativity in our lives by striving to make justice and peace focal points in

our own lives and by looking forward with hope to the day God brings justice

and peace together forever.  You'll be

glad you did.
