The Key to Peace
By A. Marie Miles

"Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend
them.'

Preface
One day, in a very brief conversation, my grandson asked me a
question. I did not get to talk with him much, so later I felt really
inspired to write some things which were upon my heart, that his

question had prompted. Of course I have gone into more detail than he
would have had to know, but felt it was good to stir up thoughts of
what he did know.
After I gave it to him to read, I remarked that I might print it some day
and hoped that it would be a help to someone else. He returned it to me
and I am sending it forth with a prayer that these Bible truths will be a
help to some soul.
At this writing, I am 64 years of age and I feel I am living on borrowed
time. In 1973, it seemed that the Lord was going to take me, but He
healed me and I am doing all I can for the Lord. I recommend the Lord
to every soul. He has been precious to me down through my life, with
many blessings in the times of trouble and heartache.
--Sis. A. Marie Miles May, 1978

*The Key to Peace*
_God's Word is the key to satisfy The heart's inner longings_.
Dear Grandson:
You asked a valid question when you asked, "How do we know what is
right and what is wrong?" I told you that we find the answer in the
Bible as to what is right and what is wrong.
You then said, "But the Bible is a big book. Where can you find where
it says a certain thing is right or wrong?" Again, that is a very valid
question. I know that the Bible is a big book. I trust that the following
will help you.
First, I want to say that I deeply appreciate the fact that you are
interested in knowing what is wrong and right, and knowing upon what
basis to place your own personal understanding. This will help you find
the key to peace in your soul. Each of us is individually responsible to
God. The Bible says, "For there is no respect of persons with God."
Rom. 2:11. "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by
Jesus Christ according to my gospel." Rom. 2:16. "Who [or God] will
render to every man according to his deeds." Rom. 2:6. You can see we
must know how to live in this world, according to the plan of God, to
be cleared before the great Judge in that last day, when all men shall
stand before Him.
When I first opened my Bible to type the above Scriptures I saw this
Scripture that I had underlined in my Bible, which at one time

impressed me greatly. I feel that it must be for you too, as the Psalmist
had a desire like yours, so in his prayer he said, "Teach me, O Lord, the
way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me
understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my
whole heart." Psalms 119:33,34. Then I always liked the verse above
these verses, which I also have marked, and have quoted many times to
others. "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against
thee." (verse 11). So we do need to desire to know what is right and
what is wrong, seek after understanding, and it will be given to us.
After we know and understand, we want to remember to obey God's
Word.
There is no book like the Bible. When I speak of the Bible I definitely
refer to the King James Version. Today, there are many versions of the
Bible, and the devil is using this to confuse people, and cause them to
lose faith in God's Word. I personally can say, that I have searched out
the King James Version
