A quiet heart,
must be still
to hear the voice
of God’s will.
An inward calm,
is its assurance
He is in control
is its insurance.
Life in His hand,
is peace known
where trust runs deep
His way is shown.
Abiding hope,
is His promise
eternal love
is its solace.
A quiet heart,
knows to be
still and calm
till with God it be!

~ to GOD be the GLORY ~
Stop what you’re doing,
I want you to be awed
know and be still . . .
by the fact I am God.
Quit trying,
let Me take care of you
quit stumbling
I know just what to do.
Quick fretting,
let Me work things out
quit worrying
give Me all your doubt.
Quit panicking,
your future is in My hand
quit struggling
your days I have planned.
Be still My Child,
for I want you to know
that I am God . . .
and I love you so!

be still, and know He is in control
and be strengthened by and in His love.
Be still, my soul be at peace,
let Him complete in thee His perfect will
be still, and know He is your God
and will our heart-strings still!

~ to GOD be the GLORY ~
Often we find ourselves,
too busy to stay still
that we become careless
searching for God’s will.
Our lives are so chaotic,
obsessively constricted
that our time alone with God
is neglectfully restricted.
Often we find ourselves,
on God not at all waiting
and our lives become
discouragingly frustrating.
Our days run together,
weeks become but a blur
that we cannot even sense
when the Holy Spirit stirs.
Often we find ourselves,
in a headlong, frantic rush
when God would rather instill . . .
His stillness into us!

When my heart,
I turn over to silence
when I let it listen
for God’s guidance.
I experience a hush,
an inner stillness
as I let His Spirit
to my soul witness.
When my mind,
I turn over to calmness
when I let it reflect
on all God’s promises.
I feel the tranquility,
only He can provide
as I let His Spirit
my thoughts guide.
When my heart and mind,
are engulfed in silence
God reveals to me . . .
how His peace is timeless!

the one who’s in control.
I’m trusting Lord,
trusting whatever You do
I know everything . . .
is completely up to You.
I’m expecting Lord,
in You, I will rest
knowing that You know
what for me is best.
Lord, I’m waiting
waiting just for You
I’ll keep believing . . .

Lord, sometimes life,
chases me by the tail
that my need for You
starts to dim and pale.
With so much to do,
so many places to be
I find it hard to carve
time, for You and me.
Lord, sometimes life,
can get so very crazy
that my desire for You
grows a little bit hazy.
With having to be here,
needing to go there, too
I find it oh, so difficult
to stay focused in on You.
Lord, sometime life,
has me going in circles
please help me to be still
else, I’ll lose all my marbles!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
I’m resting,
I’m waiting on the Lord
some people say . . .
I look a little bored.
But, I’m trusting,
see how I am still
it’s because I know
it’s all about His will.
Yep, that me,
looking sweet as a lamb
Only because I know . . .
He sees me as I am.
Waiting, anticipating,
nothing to worry about
I have faith in my Lord
what is there to doubt?
God’s timing is perfect,
so I am just hanging
He’s teaching me to be still
and I’m not even panting!

Today’s Verse ~ Bible Gateway
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.
I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.
I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.
I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.
I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.
I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.
I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.
I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.
I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!

I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.
I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.
I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.
I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.
I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!
