understanding will never bring you peace. that's why He has instructed you to trust in Him, not in your understanding. human beings have a voracious appetite for trying to figure things out, in order to gain a sense of mastery over their 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 (mastery), instead of seeking Him (your Master).
His 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 His presence. as you look to Him, you gain awareness of this precious peace.
proverbs 3:5-6, romans 5:1, 2 thessalonians 3:16
