We all know that it is God alone who is our peace—although nearly all of us tend to forget it from time to time. We forget it when we begin to neglect our daily visit with God.
Now, when you think that you are too busy for your daily visit, let me ask you frankly, what wonderful thing are you doing that is more important? There is nothing that you could possibly do with that time that would bring you greater benefit than perfect peace. As a matter of fact, if you have something very important and urgent to do, your visit will make that very important thing go through much more easily and successfully.
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace… (Job 22:21).
There is nothing we can do for ourselves that will be better for us than to start each day in communion with God. There is nothing we can do for others that will be better for them than to start our day in prayer. Each day we do this, it will create in us a grateful spirit, which a wise man once said is the perfect prism through which to view our lives. Through that prism we correctly see life in a joyful and peaceful way, full of blessings and filled with opportunity. Without that prism, we dimly see and faintly experience a false reality as though peering through a veil.
In prism vision,
Z Gardener
