the Riotous Vs the Righteous

I have been praying about the riots throughout America and the Lord led me to two scriptures; one describes a Riotous people, the other describes a Righteous people. One is about NO peace – the other is how we CAN have peace.  

The Lord told me -” Let my scriptures speak”. )                 

No Shalom – No Peace - Romans 3:11 – 18  (Passion Bible)                 

“There is no one with true spiritual insight,
    and there is no one who seeks after God alone.
 All have deliberately wandered from God’s ways.
    All have become depraved and unfit.
    Kindness has disappeared from them all,
    not even one is good.
 Their words release a stench,
    like the smell of death—foul and filthy!
    Deceitful lies roll off their tongues.
    The venom of a viper drips from their lips.
Bitter profanity flows from their mouths,
    only meant to cut and harm.
They are infatuated with violence and murder.
 They release ruin and misery wherever they go.
They never experience the path of peace.
 They shut their eyes to the awe-inspiring God!”

Total Shalom – total peace - Philippians 4:7-9  (Passion Bible)

" Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ.

 So, keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God] praising him always.

Follow the example of all that we have imparted to you and the God of peace will be with you in all things.”

My prayer is that everyone would choose to have peace!
