Stillness — Part 3

“Stand in awe … and be still. Selah” (Psalm 4:4).

“Peace, be still” (Matthew 4:39).

“Be still,” my Lord, reminded,

But this I found so hard,

My faith seemed oh-so-feeble,

My nerves seemed oh-so-jarred:

I felt I must be doing,

Yet all was in His hand,

All for my good unfolding,

The way my Lord had planned.

So, finally I listened,

For what else could I do?

I only made things tangled,

This truth I clearly knew.

But resting on His promise,

Submitting to His will,

Brought peace and understanding,

My troubled heart was “still.”
