We Must Not Allow Our Emotions To

Because Peace Is A Fruit Of The Spirit, We Are Dependent Upon The Spirit's Work In Our Lives To Produce The Desire And The Means To Pursue Peace. But We Are Also Responsible To Use The Means He Has Given Us And To Take All Practical Steps To Attain Both Peace Within And Peace With Others.

Sometimes The End God Has In Mind Is To Exercise Our Faith, So He Brings Us Into Straitened Circumstances So That We Might Look Up To Him And See His Deliverance.

Nothing Can Be More Consoling To The Man Of God, Than The Conviction That The Lord Who Made The World Governs The World; And That Every Event, Great And Small, Prosperous And Adverse, Is Under The Absolute Disposal Of Him Who Doth All Things Well, And Who Regulates All Things For The Good Of His People.

To Be Justified Means More Than To Be Declared "not Guilty." It Actually Means To Be Declared Righteous Before God. It Means God Has Imputed Or Charged The Guilt Of Our Sin To His Son, Jesus Christ, And Has Imputed Or Credited Christ's Righteousness To Us.

Perhaps We Should Stop Talking About Being Faithful To Have A Quiet Time With God Each Day, As If We Were Doing Something To Earn A Reward. It Would Be Better To Talk About The Privilege Of Spending Time With The God Of The Universe And The Importance For Our Own Sake Of Being Consistent In That Practice.
