Salt-Lick #2 - QUIETNESS

A Devotional-Anthology by Dennis Rideout

-----

"He Giveth quietness!"-Job 34:29 "I do not know when or how it may please God to give you the quiet of mind that you need, but I tell you that I believe it is to be had; and, in the meantime, you must go on doing your work, trusting in God, even for this!"-George Macdonald
"How shall I quiet my heart? How shall I keep it still?
How shall I hush its tremulous start, at tiding of good or ill?
How shall I gather and hold contentment and peace and rest,
Wrapping their sweetness, fold on fold, over my troubled breast?"

"The Spirit of God is still and gentle and mild and sweet,
What time His Omnipotent, glorious Will guideth the worlds at His feet;
Controlling all lesser things, this turbulent heart of mine...
He keepeth as under His folded wings in a peace serene - Divine!"

"So shall I quiet my heart, so shall I keep it still,
So shall I hush its tremulous start at tidings of good or ill;
So shall I silence my soul with a peacefulness deep and broad,
So shall I gather Divine control in the infinite quiet of God."-Selected


"The Fruit of the Spirit is... self-control ("temperance")!"-Gal 5:(22)
"Dwell in the secret place - under the shadow of the Almighty!"-Ps 91:1 -----
