| The fact that stage three is self-centered cannot be denied. The Old Testament clearly states that the way to peace is through reliance on God as an outside power. He is the focus of attention, always. Verses on this point read, �Great peace have they who love your laws� and �You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is fixed on you, because he puts his trust in you.� Giving up trust in God and looking instead to yourself could be very dangerous. It could also be heresy. After the Fall, sin separated man and God. The deity is �up there� in his heaven, while I am �down here� on earth, a place of tears and struggle. In this scheme I am permitted to pray to God, calling out for his help and comfort, but he decides whether to return the call. It is not for me to try to make the connection permanent. My imperfection � and the laws of God � forbid it. |
