Welcome to Enjoying Every Day Life with New York Times Best Selling Author Joy Smire.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series,

recognizing and dealing with strife.

Everywhere we look, it seems there is something or someone we can choose to be upset with.

We can bicker about any topic on social media or criticize others for their opinions and beliefs.

Often we get that uneasy feeling that everything is just not okay.

There is good news.

With God's help, we can improve and even have unity in our relationships.

Be encouraged as Joyce shares how we can overcome strife and receive God's peace for our lives.

Now here's Joyce with today's teaching.

And the harvest of righteousness, which is conforming to God's will and thought indeed.

So God gives us His righteousness when we receive Christ. It's our gift.

But there needs to be a harvest. God wants a harvest from that seed that He's sows in us.

He wants good fruit to come from that, which comes as we obey God in thought indeed.

Not just when we go sit on the church pew once a week and underline in our Bibles.

But when we do what the Bible tells us to do.

The harvest of righteousness conforming to God's will and thought indeed is the fruit of the seed.

Now listen to this.

Sown in peace by those who work far and make peace in themselves and others.

Now you probably right now don't have any idea what that means.

So I'm going to explain it to you.

Well we first got into this and I didn't know what I'm telling you tonight.
