[Songs in the Night - January 30]
Let the peace of God rule in your hearts. Colossians 3:15
THE peace and joy which surpasseth all human
understanding was not given to the world, nor is
it given to the nominal Christian professor, nor to
the formalist and ritualist, however zealous they may
be.
It is intended for and can be had only by those who receive riches of grace through the Holy Spirit—those who by obedience to the truth and its spirit grow
up into Christ their living Head in all things.
Such
have peace, deep and abiding, and ever increasing
proportionately as they come to comprehend with all saints
through faith and obedience the riches of divine grace—the lengths, breadths, heights, and depths of the love
of God. Z'99-93 R2456:6 (Hymn 244)
