LESSON 86

These ideas are for review today:

1. 1(71) Only God’s plan for salvation will work.

2It is senseless for me to search wildly about for salvation. 3I have seen it in many people and in many things, but when I reached for it, it was not there. 4I was mistaken about where it is. 5I was mistaken about what it is. 6I will undertake no more idle seeking. 7Only God’s plan for salvation will work. 8And I will rejoice because His plan can never fail.

2. 1These are some suggested forms for applying this idea specifically:

2God’s plan for salvation will save me from my perception of this.

3This is no exception in God’s plan for my salvation.

4Let me perceive this only in the light of God’s plan for salvation.

3. 1(72) Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation.

2Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God’s plan for salvation will not work. 3Yet only His plan will work. 4By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only hope of salvation from my awareness. 5I would no longer defeat my own best inter­ests in this insane way. 6I would accept God’s plan for salvation, and be happy.

4. 1Specific applications for this idea might be in these forms:

2I am choosing between misperception and salvation as I look on this.

3If I see grounds for grievances in this, I will not see the grounds for my salvation.

4This calls for salvation, not attack.
