How Can I Find Peace In God?

A comedian making light of God's instruction to Noah, mimics his response to God's call, saying, "What do you want, God?  I didn't do nuthin'!"  That was supposed to be humor, but it underlines a pretty common belief that God won't bother you if you don't bother Him.  Sadly enough, individuals who prefer to live independently of their Maker live in rebellion against Him and are the real losers, not because of God's wrath but because of the blessings which they are denied.
