Dear Friends,
Is it just me, or does life seem to become more and more hectic as time
goes by? In all this hullabaloo where is peace to be found? Today’s
attached devotional will help you answer that question. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• Isaiah 26:3-4 (ESV)

  3 You keep him in perfect peace
  whose mind is stayed on you,
  because he trusts in you.
  4 Trust in the Lord forever,
  for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.

PEACE, PERFECT PEACE

“Peace, perfect peace,

In this dark world of sin?

The blood of Jesus

Whispers peace within.

Peace, perfect peace,

By thronging duties pressed?

To do the will of Jesus,

This is rest.

Peace, perfect peace,

With sorrows surging round?

On Jesus’ bosom

Naught but calm is found.

Peace, perfect peace,

With loved ones far away?

In Jesus’ keeping

We are safe, and they

Peace, perfect peace,

Our future all unknown?

Jesus we know,

And He is on the throne.

Peace, perfect peace,

Death shadowing us and ours?

Jesus has vanquished death

And all its powers.

It is enough:

Earth’s struggles soon shall cease,

And Jesus call us to

Heaven’s perfect peace.”

[Edward H. Bickersteth (1825-1906)]
