James 4:1-3
Today's Scripture

As a mother of a teenage daughter, I know a little about fights and quarrels. Sometimes it seems our desires are worlds apart--she wants something I want no part of, or I want something for her that she would not desire (understated!).

But if we both look to God, we are seeking the same thing. If we ask for something according to his will, he will grant our request. He wants us to live in peace, in his peace--not as the world gives.

There will still be squabbles as long as we are alive. But I pray as we become more like God, we may know more of his peace. And someday all battles will end as our King and Savior returns for us in victory.
