Combative Attitudes
Combative Attitudes
Morning Thoughts
By Miracle Man

The world today is filled with bias and hate,
and a sinful nature drives us to discriminate.
We speak the wrong language, to heavy, too thin,
and too many don’t like the color of our skin.
Shootings and other violence dominate the news,
and many professing Christians never fill the pews.
Too many today possess a combative attitude,
when toward each other we should show gratitude.
God didn’t destine us to experience life this way,
and our freedom of choice must bring HIM dismay.
We cry peace, peace, as peaceful things we spurn,*
True peace will never come until HIS return.
*(Hebrews 12:14 (KJV)
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
*(Jeremiah 6:14)
“They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.”
