God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Psalm 46:1-3
Amidst the toil and rush of our day,
Do we ever stop to pray?
Is it all toil and hurry,
And is our time filled with worry?
We neglect the principal need
When on our knees we forget to plead!
Our needs go beyond the daily grind-
What’s the use if peace we never find?
We need the quiet place
Where we may avail ourselves of God’s amazing grace.
Amidst the toil and rush-be still and know-
That in adversity we may grow.
Trouble is our servant to cause us gain-
Not just instruments to cause us pain.
God, the Controller and Sovereign Ruler of all
Numbers the hair on our heads and notes the sparrow’s fall.
Let us not forget the quiet place-
Where we avail ourselves of His grace.
In His presence we must come apart
To be still and know with a quiet heart.
So amidst your daily toil, in the secret place of your being,
Don’t be content with doing and seeing,
Commune with Him in quiet repose-
Confidently resting in Him who sees and knows.
