PEACE AND QUIET
Welcome! Blessings!
God’s promise that we would dwell safely and that our lives would be quiet from the fear of evil (Proverbs 1:33) does not mean that we would be exempt from any encounter with the evil of which we fear. Quite to the contrary, He takes us through those very things to show us that there’s nothing to fear and to replace our fear with faith.
Now, insert your name in the blanks because it is for you:
But now, thus saith the LORD that created thee, O __________, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name, __________; thou art Mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour…Since thou wast precious in My sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee…Fear not: for I am with thee… Isaiah 43:1-5
When you’re passing through the waters, you will have no need to fear;
For the omnipresent God accompanies and shields you there.
Through the river’s undercurrents: Unexpected, strong and swift;
You shall stand above its flood due to the standard God shall lift.
When you’re walking through the fire, though you’ll feel the intense heat;
The flame shall not burn nor kindle but just make your faith complete.
And your faith, which shall endure shall take on a more perfect form;
As the Lord so wisely makes you through the fire and the storm.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Proverbs 1:33
When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. Isaiah 59:19
Be Sternly Encouraged!
