God’s Peace
By Robert H. Schuller
“I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.” -Psalm 4:8
Some time back, I had the privilege of having lunch with the president of one of the largest aerospace companies. Following lunch, he took me on a tour of his vast facility.
What really impressed me was the “clean room.” My host explained to me that the clean room is so spotless because no particle can pass through the air conditioning system into that room unless it is small enough to fit on the point of a needle. He told me something I didn’t know before. The point of a needle is really flat. Put a needle under a microscope and you will see that the point is literally flat. And the largest speck that can come into the clean room will be able to rest on the flat part of the needlepoint!
To enter that room, I had to clear security and then they had to make sure I was clean. It was a fascinating as well as a thought-provoking experience.
You should have a clean room at the center of your life. Your mind should be your own personal clean room. You should have security checks on whom and what enters your room. There are some writers I refuse to read because they fill me with negative thoughts, and some ideas and some practices that don’t pass security. Have you been careless? I suggest you begin today to set up your clean room at the very core of your mind – a place so clean that both you and God are comfortable there. God’s dwelling place!
