Oswald Chambers: Peace - Life in the SpiritSample

To be “silent unto God” does not mean drifting into mere feeling, or sinking into reverie, but deliberately getting into the center of things and focusing on God. When you have been brought into relationship with God through the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ and are concentrating on Him, you will experience wonderful times of communion. As you wait only upon God, concentrating on the glorious outlines of His salvation, there will come into you the sleeping peace of God, the certainty that you are in the place where God is doing all in accordance with His will. The peace our Savior gives is the deepest thing a human personality can experience, it is almighty, a peace that passes all understanding. Reflection Question: Have I entered the “sleeping peace” of God where I am at total rest because I know that God is working through me, I am not working for God?
