Search Me O God
By Bro. G.V. "Rene" Growcott

Let us not even wish for peace until we have, with God's help, created the conditions in our life and mind that justify peace. Short of this, "peace" is not a blessing, but a dangerous deception and soporific. True peace can come only from oneness with God in heart and life and action. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is STAYED on Thee." "Stayed" implies permanence and consistency: Total dependence and dedication. "There is no peace to the wicked." Hopefully, we are not "wicked," but to the degree that we are sinful (and though we must mightily strive, none of us can ever rise completely above that), to that degree will our peace be marred. The only peace is "Peace with God": and God is perfect in holiness. Any unpurged corruption or foolishness within us will prevent our being wholly comfortable or "at peace" with Him, or He fully accepting us in oneness.
