reliance on God. Once we get to that point, there is nothing
easier than living the life of a saint. We encounter difficulties
when we try to usurp the authority of the Holy Spirit for our
own purposes.
Gods mark of approval, whenever you obey Him, is peace.
He sends an immeasurable, deep peace; not a natural
peace, as the world gives, but the peace of Jesus.
Whenever peace does not come, wait until it does, or seek
to find out why it is not coming. If you are acting on your
own impulse, or out of a sense of the heroic, to be seen by
others, the peace of Jesus will not exhibit itself. This shows
no unity with God or confidence in Him. The spirit of
simplicity, clarity, and unity is born through the Holy Spirit,
not through your decisions. God counters our self-willed
decisions with an appeal for simplicity and unity.
My questions arise whenever I cease to obey. When I do
obey God, problems come, not between me and God, but
as a means to keep my mind examining with amazement
the revealed truth of God. But any problem that comes
between God and myself is the result of disobedience. Any
problem that comes while I obey God (and there will be
many), increases my overjoyed delight, because I know that
my Father knows and cares, and I can watch and anticipate
how He will unravel my problems. December 16, 2017
