Quiet Rest in God
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth
in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these
calamities be overpast. Ps. 57:1.
I am so sorry that men who want to be obedient to God put so much
confidence in human sympathy and human help which disappoint so often. But
God, the living God, is unchangeable. He is the same kind, tender, pitiful,
loving Saviour today, yesterday, and forever. Satan is now working with all
his might, and leaving no means untried to unsettle minds because they see
men of long experience make mistakes. But Jesus is faultless. . . . Make God
your entire trust. Pray, pray, pray, pray in faith. Then trust the keeping
of your soul to God. He will keep that which is committed to Him against
that day. . . . Walk humbly with God. The Lord sees every sorrow, every
grief, every trial that besets the human soul, and He knows how to apply the
balm. . . .
In God you can do valiantly. Tell it to the Lord in prayer, talk it to
the Lord by the way. "Thee I seek; Thee I will follow; Thee I will serve.
Under the shadow of Thy wings will I abide. Command me as Thou wilt; I will
obey Thy voice." Yield always to the heavenly guidance. When trials come,
possess your soul in patience. Wait on the Lord and have one purpose in
view, to seek the eternal good of all those with whom you are connected,
holding fast your integrity in the strength of your God. He will redeem His
promise. Your bread shall be provided; your water shall be sure. This means
not only temporal bread and water but the bread and water of eternal life.
Stand in God. Work under the sweet influence of His grace. The truth of
God sanctifying the heart of the believer guides his life. We may stand
firmly and assuredly. If you make the face of clay your dependence you lean
on a reed that has oft broken in your hand and will break. Trust fully,
unwaveringly, in God. He is the wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the
everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. We may keep the conscience
unsullied and in peace and quiet rest in God.
