“Whenever a thing becomes difficult in
personal experience, we are in danger of blaming God, but it is we who are in
the wrong, not God’s.
There is some perversity somewhere that we will not let go. Immediately we do, everything becomes as clear as daylight.
As Long as we try to serve two ends, ourselves and God, there is perplexity.
The attitude must be one of complete reliance on God. When once we get there, there is nothing easier than living the saintly life; difficulty comes in when we want to usurp the authority of the Holy Spirit for our own ends..

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, tarry till 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 witness; there is no simplicity or confidence in God, because the spirit of simplicity is born of the Holy Ghost, not your decisions.
Every decision brings a reaction of simplicity.

My questions come when ever I cease to
obey. Then I have obeyed God, the problems never come between me and God, they
come as probes to keep the mind going on with amazement at the revelation of
God.
Any problem that comes between God and myself springs out of disobedience any problem, and there are many, that is alongside me while I obey God, increases my ecstatic delight, because I know that my Father knows, and I am going to watch and see how He unravels this thing.”

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own
understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
Prov. 3:5, 6 NKJV
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you:…Let not your heart be troubled." John 14:27
