A great deal of confusion seems to exist in many minds concerning the precise avenue through which realization and harmony are to be attained.
The only solution is to contact the divine Power that dwells within your own soul; and to bring it to bear upon the various difficulties in your life, taking them in due order, that is, attacking the most urgent first. The real remedy for every one of your difficulties is, as we are told on every page of the Bible, to find and know the Indwelling Presence.
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee (Job 22:21).
This, then, is the task, and the only one – to find, and consciously know, your own Indwelling Lord. You see now how the confusion disappears, and the perfect simplicity of the whole thing emerges once you realize this fact.
Where do we most often search for God? Many seek God in church, in the Bible, in Sunday School or in nature, music and art. Yet the truth is that although God manifests himself in all these places, he actually dwells in us through the Holy Spirit. We are God’s temple, home and dwelling place here in the physical world. God resides in our consciousness, and can best be found by looking inward instead of outward.
When we look inside our selves, then empty out our selves to welcome God’s presence in our hearts and minds, then we become new creations and God fills us with the divine. It is when we move our selves out of this dwelling to make room for God’s spirit, that a new resident takes charge of us and our lives. This new tenant in the indwelling God who is ever present to us and will never leave or forsake us.
This indwelling God will reveal our gardens to us and dwell there with us to protect and nurture us and to help ensure that our gardens are filled with beauty, joy and peace. So, look inside, find God’s presence and then put God in charge. Then all good shall come to thee.
Looking in,
Stan
