======================================================================== LIVE IN PEACE by Mary Wilder Tileston ======================================================================== Summary: As we cultivate quietness in our daily lives, we become conformed to Christ and experience His peace, which sustains us even in the midst of turmoil. Topics: "Inner Peace", "Spiritual Growth" Scripture References: Psalm 46:10, Isaiah 26:3, John 14:27, Philippians 4:7, 2 Thessalonians 3:12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mary Wilder Tileston preaches about the importance of cultivating quietness in our daily lives, following the example set by the holy angels, to experience a deep inner peace despite outward struggles. She emphasizes that haste is the enemy of patience and that true strength comes from submitting all aspects of our lives to the direction of Divine light and grace, allowing Christ to rule over us. As we grow in quietness and allow His peace to spread within us, we become more conformed to Him, finding serenity even in the midst of external disturbances. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ that with quietness they work. 2 THESSALONIANS 3:12 THERE is an order in our daily life, Like that the holy angels constant keep; And though its outward show seems but a strife, There dwells within a peace like oceans deep. JONES VERY THE enemy of that grand central habit of interior patience is haste: haste of thought, haste of judgment, haste of manner, haste of speech. Even natural powers of every kind become true strength, when they work submissively and harmoniously under the direction of Divine light and the movement of Divine grace; and this disciplined subjection at every point under the dominion of Christ our Lord, ruling us by His grace, makes the soul the serene organ of the Holy Spirit, for the animating, controlling, and guiding of our souls. WILLIAM BERNARD ULLATHORNE We are conformed to Him in proportion as our lives grow in quietness, His peace spreading within our souls. Even amid all that outwardly disturbs us we have, if we have Him, the same peace, because He is our peace, sustaining our whole being. T.
