Act with Peace, Love, and Faith

           I never had more of a confirmation then just now during my Bible study time. For a few days in a row, these past couple of weeks, all I could think to pray about was peace, love, compassion, and forgiveness. You might see a prayer or two on here about that. Well, God brought me to a Psalm that had three of those things in it. Now to me that is showing me that we really need those things in the world today. Here are those three things worded in the Bible:

-Peace-Psalm 61:2
-Steady Love-Psalm 61:7
-Good Faith.-Psalm 62:7

I've been praying for the Peace and the Love. Never thought about the Faith til now. I will throw this out there too. Psalm 61 talks about how we should handle it and how to pray for our leaders that are dealing with it now. Anyone that's dealing with it because we can pray these things for them. 
           Then I got to thinking about what other words can describe these words. I started thinking about Faith first because a lot of people don't understand that. So I looked up other words to describe that word plus the other two. This was my Bible study this morning. Here are the other words and I know they need to be heard and prayed. 


Faith:
-Hope
-Acceptance
-Trust
-Loyalty
-Conviction


Peace:
-Friendship
-Unity
-Truce
-Reconciliation 
-Love


Love:
-Yearning
-Tenderness
-Fondness
-Appreciation 


          Can you see this world in all these words or even one? If you don't agree with or be the one word I pick, that's okay. I think, at least, you can pick one you want to try and be. You can at least one pick from the 14 words. That's your challenge from me!

          All of the chapter is Psalm 61. I encourage you to read it all!
