When He gives quietness

When He gives quietness


" When He gives quietness —who then can make trouble?" Job 34:29

When Jehovah calms the storm—who can raise a tempest?
When He stills the tumultuous working of the troubled heart—who can agitate it?
When He imparts peace to the conscience "through the blood of the everlasting covenant"—then where is the enemy that can disturb it?

O You, who are the God of peace—increase my faith in You. Give me such a view of what You are in Christ Jesus; give me such an apprehension of Your wisdom, of Your goodness, and grace—that my mind may be stayed upon

You. Speak peace to my conscience, through the precious blood of Christ. Give me inward tranquility amidst all the storms and trials of life, from the assurance that You do all things well. Keep me quiet from fear of evil—let my heart be fixed, trusting in You.

If You give me quietness, I shall not fear, "Though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea—though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging!"

"O hidden Source of calm repose,
  O all-sufficient Love Divine!
  My help and refuge from my foes,
  Secure I am, for I am Thine!
  You are my fortress, strength, and tower,
  My trust and portion evermore!"
