I watch as this world spins out of control.
People consumed with a thirst for self-fulfillment and pleasure.
There is no room for authority. No room for right or wrong.
Everything is relative.
They not only reject God, but scorn Him, spit upon Him, loathe Him.
And, it breaks my heart.
I've been saying that a lot lately.
But, it's true. My heart is broken.
To know that so many refuse to see
There is more.
More than what running after their own passions can ever supply.
And, I feel helpless.
Any word I might speak in love
is misconstrued as hate, as intolerance, as oppression.
The blinders are on.
They can't see the chains binding them.
That God wants to free them.
I spent the afternoon listening to hymns, finding comfort there.
Be still, and know that I am God.
And in my stillness...a prayer, a word of faith rose up within me.....
Perhaps it will bring you the peace it brought me.
He is still sufficient 2 Corinthians 12:9
His great love & mercy endureth forever Psalm 136:4
He is Alpha & Omega, beginning and the end Revelation 21:6
He makes known from ancient times what is still to come Isaiah 46:10
His compassions they fail not Lamentations 3:22
Every knee shall bow & every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord Phillipians 2:10
His mercies are new every morning. Lamentations 3:23
He is my strength Psalm 28:8
He is my righteousness Isaiah 61:10
He is our fortress 2 Samuel 22:33
He is our refuge Psalm 46:1
There is none like Him. Isaiah 46:9
He is Holy. Isaiah 6:3
His purposes stand. Psalm 36:11
Do not listen to the roaring
of the world
The wild clashing
and angry refrains
It seeks to drown out
His peaceful song
His sweet melody
the world cannot endure
But Truth rings out
soft and pure
In the hearts of men
a remnant stands
Still yourself
lest you cease to hear
the gentle leading
in your soul
