A complex concept is knowing that peace comes from knowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Knowing our deep dependence on the One who saves.
Knowing who we are.
Knowing who He is.
Knowing how we are aligned to Him\u2014and to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Most High has been working in me lately. He\u2019s stirred up a desire for knowing<\/em>. Not the head kind of knowing. But the kind where you trust He\u2019ll direct you in all circumstances\u2014if you just listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great example of that is this writing. I am not a writer. Communication has never been my strong suit. Yet the Lord said, write<\/em>. So here I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I have peace about it. Because I know He is the one directing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I had a nice 3-step plan for how to find peace. But I only have two steps. Good news, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Seek wisdom.<\/strong>
Step 2: Do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s it. The only real knowing comes through action. When you take that step, things begin to fall into place. You don\u2019t just understand\u2014you feel<\/em> it. Deeply. You walk in relationship, not just sit by and waste away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were made to be one. To be in relationship with the Father.
It\u2019s really that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seek. Do.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
