Proverbs 16:7
Proverbs 16:7
When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
This verse highlights the peace that comes from living in accordance with God’s will. When our ways align with God’s desires, even our enemies will be at peace with us. This does not mean that there will be no conflict, but rather that God will work in such a way that we can experience peace in the midst of opposition. Faithfulness to God’s ways brings His blessings, and His favor can soften the hearts of those who once opposed us. Living in peace with others requires us to extend love and forgiveness, which can break down walls of hostility and lead to reconciliation. As we seek righteousness and peace, we reflect God’s character, and He will make a way for us to live at peace with others, even in challenging circumstances.

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
