Seek Peace

Seek Peace
The Psalmist writes,
“Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, 
keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. 
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.”
                                                                                        Psalm 34:11-14.
Someone told me the other day this is advice that everyone can benefit from. A standard by which we all must live. This is doubly so if we are in a position of authority. It is simple advice that says a lot.
Look at what it says,
1/“Keep your tongue from evil...”
2/“Your lips from speaking lies.”
3/“Turn from evil...”
4/“Seek peace and pursue it.”
Question: Is it advice you follow?
         Do the leaders both political and religious that you follow,
                         follow this advice?
Please think about it.
