UNDERSTANDING will never bring you Peace. That's why I have instructed you to trust in Me, not in your understanding. We have a voracious appetite for trying to figure things out, in order to gain a sense of mastery over our lives. But the world presents you with an endless series of problems. As soon as you master one set, another pops up to challenge you. The relief you had anticipated is short-lived. Soon your mind is gearing up again: searching for understanding, instead of seeking Me.
The wisest of all men, Solomon, could never think his way through Peace. His vast understanding resulted in feelings of futility, rather than in fullfillment. Finally, he lost his way and succumbed to the will of his wives by worshiping idols. (Solomon is the author of Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs, as well as many of the Proverbs & a couple of the Psalms)
My Peace is not an elusive goal, hidden at the center of some complicated maze. Actually, you are always enveloped in Peace, which is inherent in My Presence. As you look to Me, you gain awareness of this precious Peace.
- Jesus
