Serenity!
Dear Friends,
Does it seem to you that life is anything but serene? Is all the hustle
and bustle, the folly and foolishness getting to you? If so, today’s
attached devotional will be well worth you time to meditate on. God
bless you with His peace!
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
Psalm 31:14-16 (ESV)
14 But I trust in you, O Lord;
I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in your hand;
rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
16 Make your face shine on your servant;
save me in your steadfast love!
SERENITY
“My times are in Thy hand;
My God, I wish them thee;
My life, my friends, my soul, I leave
Entirely to thy care.
My times are in Thy hand,
Whatever they may be;
Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.
My times are in Thy hand,
Why should I doubt or fear?
My Father’s hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
My times are in Thy hand,
Jesus the crucified;
Those hands my cruel sins had pierced
Are no my guard and guide.”
[William F. Lloyd]
