'Instead Of Peace - A Sword.'
Jeremiah 4:10.
a) To Jeremiah, as the Lord's Messenger, this was an embarrassing time.
b) It was as if God had deceived His People and His City Jerusalem. (But actually He had not)
c) God's Message was that they would have Peace.
d) The reality became that they suffered by the sword.
(Through this QT I find Instead Of Peace - A Sword)

'Presumptuous Judging Is Not Good.'
John 1:46.
a) Nathanael spoke to Philip.
b) Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?
c) Philip simply replied: "Come, and see".
(This Second one reminds me that Presumptuous Judging Is Not Good)

This is a common situation between people, peoples and Nations, instead of Peace - a Sword. Personally I do not like conflicts, I never have done, since I was a small child. Without any conflicts of my own, I am constantly meeting people who are living in conflict, it may be family issues, it may be national issues or other kinds of issues. People get hurt, damaged and exhausted by living in conflict. This New Year let's pray that any conflict issues in our lives can be solved. The Sword can be taken away and then Peace can come.
