If your peace today is based upon anything whatever in yourself, your faith, or anything else, it may be lost and gone tomorrow; but if your eyes are turned to Christ today, to find in Him all you need to fill your heart and purge your conscience, the question is: Will He be any different tomorrow? Will His blood have lost its precious efficacy or He have changed because you have?
If I have been wrecked and been tossing about in the water till I despair of life, and then find myself on a solid rock, I do not torture myself whether I am standing firmly; but my question is: How firm is the rock I stand on?
And it is so as to salvation: My faith may be weak and poor indeed my feelings often worse; but my Savior never changes, and "He is our peace." (Eph. 2.)
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is staved on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee." Isa. 26:33Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. (Isaiah 26:3).
The true way of peace is not to be examining and dwelling upon your faith, but upon Him who is the object of that faith.
