Philippians 4:9 (TEV) Put into practice what you learned and received from me, both from my words and from my actions. And the God who gives us peace will be with you.
Job 36:11 (TEV) If they obey God and serve him, they live out their lives in peace and prosperity.
Romans 8:28 (TEV) We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose.
To be like Christ. That is our goal, plain and simple. It sounds; like a peaceful, relaxing, easy objective. But stop and think. He learned obedience by the things he suffered. So must we. It is neither easy nor quick nor natural. It is impossible in the flesh, slow in coming, and supernatural in scope. Only Christ can accomplish it within us. Charles R. Swindoll (1934- )
