Peace

"Whenever you obey God, His seal is always that of peace, the witness of an unfathomable peace, which is not natural, but the peace of Jesus.

Whenever peace does not come, wait until it does, or find out the reason why it does not. If you are acting on an impulse, or from a sense of the heroic, the peace of Jesus will not appear; there is no simplicity or confidence in God, because the spirit of simplicity is born of the Holy Spirit, not because of your decisions.

When I have obeyed God, the problem never comes between me and God. Any problem that comes alongside of obeying God only increases my delight, because I know that my Father knows, and I am going to watch and see how He unravels this thing."
