Gift of Strength; Peace to Bless

"The LORD will give strength unto His people; the LORD will bless His people
with peace" (Psalm 29:11).

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 forever!

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!

“Sorrow not.ö 1 Thess. 4. 13, 14; 2 Sam. 12. 19-23

1 The spirits of the just,
Confined in bodies, groan,
Till death consigns the corpse to dust, And then the conflict’s done.

2 Jesus, who came to save,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Perfumed the chambers of the grave, And made e’en death our gain.

3 Why fear we, then, to trust
The place where Jesus lay?
In quiet rests our brother’s dust,
And thus it seems to say:

4 “Forbear, my friends, to weep,
Since death has lost its sting;
Those Christians that in Jesus sleep, Our God will with him bring.ö

5 This message, then, receive,
And grief indulge no more;
Return to pray awhile; believe,
And wait the welcome hour.
