Quiet Reflection

“I will give peace and quietness” (1 Chronicles 22:9).

“In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength” (Isaiah 30:15).

I sat alone the other day,

Sipping coffee in a small café,

And I thought of the pressure of daily life,

In this world of sin, and sorrow, and strife;

And then I thought of my Savior and Lord,

Whose love by so many is scorned and ignored;

It made me so thankful that He is my friend,

My faithful companion, whose love does not end;

He’s with me each moment, He keeps by His power,

He’ll never forsake me, no, not for one hour … 

I sipped at my coffee, and went on my way,

Glad for reflection at that quiet café.

So, if ever you doubt, or worry, or fret,

Stop and consider, and do not regret,

Moments of quiet reflection and thought,

They will help you recharge, and encourage a lot.
