Practice Makes Peaceful

Verse For The Day

“ I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.” (
1 Corinthians 1:10)

Short Devotional Thought
Our Daily Devotional:
Practice Makes Peaceful

Philippians 4:9 NIV: Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Playing on the piano is easy. Playing the piano well, takes a great deal of practice. Even after a year of piano lessons, I still fumble and fail—and the results are easy to hear. Becoming a Christian is easy. Living the Christian life takes dedication, devotion, daily seeking, and a heart that is willing to remain in Christ. It seems so many try to live as Christians as though one year of lessons is enough. It is not enough to hear about stepping out in faith, or to hear about victory that comes when trusting Jesus with everything; we must put these Biblical principles into practice. Practice will not make us perfect here, but as we remain in Christ, practice will bring us peace in the meantime.
