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!

745 8.8.6. J. BERRIDGE
Simple-hearted. Luke 14. 13, 21; Matt. 22. 9, 10

1 When Jesus would his grace proclaim, He calls the simple, blind, and lame To
come and be his guest;
Such simple folk the world despise; Yet simple folk have sharpest eyes, And
learn to walk the best.

2 They view the want of Jesus' light, Of Jesus' blood, and Jesus' might,
Which others cannot view;
They walk in Christ, the living Way, And fight, and win the well-fought day,
Which others cannot do.

3 They all declare, I nothing am,
My life is bound up in the Lamb,
My wit and might are his;
My worth is all in Jesus found,
He is my Rock, my anchor-ground,
And all my hope of bliss.

4 Such simple soul I fain would be, The scorn of man, the joy of thee,
Thy parlour guest and friend;
Do make me, Lord, a little child,
Right simple-hearted, meek and mild, And loving to the end.
