“The Lord will give strength
unto his people;
the Lord will bless his people
with peace”
Psalm 29:11
GIFT OF STRENGTH;
PEACE TO BLESS
David had just heard the
voice of the Lord in a
thunderstorm, and had seen His
power in the hurricane whose
path he had described; and now,
in the cool calm after the
storm, that overwhelming power
by which Heaven and earth are
shaken is promised to be the
strength of the chosen.
He who wings the unerring
bolt will give to His redeemed
the wings of eagles;
He who shakes the earth with His
voice will terrify the enemies
of His saints, and give His
children peace.
Why are we weak when we have
divine strength to flee to?
Why are we troubled when the
Lord’s own peace is ours?
Jesus, the mighty God, is our
strength; let us put Him on and
go
forth to our service. Jesus, our
blessed Lord, is also our peace;
let us repose in Him this day,
and end our fears.
What a blessing to have Him
for our strength and peace both
now and for ever! That same God
who rides upon the storm in days
of tempest will also rule the
hurricane of our tribulation,
and send us, before long, days
of peace.
We shall have strength for
storms, and songs for fair
weather. Let us begin to sing at
once unto God our strength and
our peace.
Away, dark thoughts!
Up, faith and hope!
"Lord Dictated
Them"
