"For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land."
Psalms 35:20
It's a negative example, but I like the idea of speaking peace. Christ speaks peace in other parts of the scriptures, significantly when he commanded the storm to be still. I wonder sometimes if we can even command ourselves to be still, let alone the forces of nature. :)
Today, let's learn, unlike those spoken of in this verse, how to speak peace... to tread a gentler path in our lives. Let's let go of the temptation to make a big deal of the things that we can quietly let go or overlook. Let's choose the calm option rather than the angry option. Let's learn to have some internal peace, so that we can radiate it outward, as Christ so often did, spreading good everywhere.
