“Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting—and conflict” (Proverbs 17:1 NLT).

PEACE IS BETTER THAN PROSPERITY

If there is discord in your house, money won’t fix it. All the feasting and fancy things won’t mean anything when there is constant conflict. Couples think financial problems are the source of their marital woes, but poor communication and lack of forgiveness are nearly always at the root.
 
Start talking and forgiving one another, then sharing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich will feel like a sumptuous feast. Peace with God and with one another makes everything taste better.
 
PRAYER: Dear Father, we often strive for more and more material things and forget to focus on the peace that You alone can give. Forgive us. And help us to remember that the only way to have true peace with You and with one another is through faith in Your Son, Jesus. For it’s in His name we pray, amen.
