PEACE

25th Day, Wednesday. Read Matthew 5:14-40.

“Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace,
To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not: Let all
the ends thou aim’st at be thy country’s, Thy God’s and
truth’s.” – Shakespeare

The great thought waves that move the world are set into action by deep thinkers.

Peace and understanding of spiritual realities arise in the mind when it has made the inner contact. When we know the work of Spirit in transforming mind and body, we shall see that the crushing of personal ambitions releases spiritual ideas of far-reaching influence.

Jesus went back to the very source of all discord, and showed how all resistance and antagonism must cease. He did not stop to argue whether the cause was just or not, but He said, “Agree with thine adversary quickly”; “If any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.” To the mortal mind this seems like foolishness, but Jesus spoke out of the inner wisdom that knows that it is dangerous to allow any kind of opposing thoughts to form in consciousness. He knew that the universal law of justice would adjust all matters, if men would trust it and cease fighting mentally for their rights. This is accomplished by bringing the Christ, the Prince of Peace, to bear in all our affairs. “My peace I give unto you.”

I praise God for the peace of my own higher self. I rejoice and am glad in the possession of the Holy City within. With my inner vision I see the gates open wide, and holy peace pervades my consciousness.

I affirm: “My mind is stayed on Thee, and I rest in Thy peace and power.”

Questions:

1. What releases spiritual ideas of far-reaching influence?

2. How did Jesus handle antagonism?

3. What did Jesus know in regard to the universal law of justice?

4. How is justice established in our affairs?

My mind is stayed on Thee, O Lord. I place myself and all that concerns me trustingly in Thy care. I rest in Thy peace and power.

Remember, God is Blessing You, Right Now!
