Fénelon: resisting God

Meditation:
“I have seen his ways, but I will heal him;
I will lead him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,
creating the fruit of the lips.
Peace, peace, to the far and to the near,” says the LORD,
“and I will heal him.
But the wicked are like the tossing sea;
for it cannot be quiet,
and its waters toss up mire and dirt.
There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
—Isaiah 57:18-21 (ESV)

Quotation:
There is never any peace for those who resist God.
... François Fénelon (1651-1715), Spiritual Letters of Archbishop Fénelon. Letters to men, London: Rivingtons, 1877, p. 340 (see the book)
See also Isa. 57:18-21; 48:22; Rom. 3:15-17

Quiet time reflection:
Break down, O Lord, the last barriers my hard heart and bent will have thrown up in resistance to Your love.
