Quote these verses the next time you feel restless.

I LAID ME DOWN AND SLEPT; I awaked
for the LORD sustained me.
(Psalm 3:5)

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the
bread of sorrows: FOR HE GIVETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP.
(Psalm 127:2)

REST IN THE LORD and wait patiently for him: fret not
thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because
of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
(Psalm 37:7)

I WILL BOTH LAY ME DOWN IN PEACE, AND SLEEP: for
thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
(Psalm 4:8)

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain
that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the
watchman waketh but in vain.
(Psalm 127:1)

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
(Psalm 23:2)

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer they foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. BEHOLD, HE THAT KEEPETH ISRAEL SHALL NEITHER SLUMBER NOR SLEEP.
(Psalm 121:1-4)

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, THOU SHALT LIE DOWN AND THEY SLEEP SHALL BE SWEET. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep
they foot from being taken.
(Prov. 3:24-26)

THE SLEEP OF A LABOURING MAN IS SWEET, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

Thus saith the LORD, stand ye in the ways, and see, and
ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk
therein, and YE SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.
(Jeremiah 6:16)

‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus!


lighthouse-4753714_1920

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, “Thus saith the Lord!”

Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.

An Assuring Thunder!


thunder-2185502_1920

I awoke last night to the low sound of thunder with brief flashes of lightning. Thunder can be a very frightful thing but, to me, it was a reassuring sign that God is over the people and controls the universe! Thunder speaks to me! As I laid there — there was a comforting assurance that this God, who has the power to destroy nations, was my God! I was taken away from the daily noise of our world, along with its fears, and brought into a reality that God judges all who live on the earth, but He is also a shelter from the storm! As the thunder began to die down, I so wanted to hear the sound of the noise increase, not with great blasts of judgment, but loud enough to hear God say that this is His world! The loud rain falling reminded me of God’s provision to water the earth that the earth might produce. God’s judgments are mixed with His mercy. His mercy is extended to all who will call on Him in truth! God will save those who turn to Him and He will make himself known. Thunder, as we know it, does not need to be frightening, but it can be a sign to us that the owner of this world reigns sovereign and that He is in control!

The clouds poured down rain.
The skies rumbled with thunder.
Lightning flashed back and forth like arrows.
Your thunder was heard in the windstorm.
Your lightning lit up the world.
The earth trembled and shook.
Your path led through the Red Sea.
You walked through the mighty waters.
But your footprints were not seen.
You led your people like a flock.
You led them by the hands of
Moses and Aaron.

Psalm 77:17-20
(Read all of Psalm 77)
