How To Quiet Your Heart!
"When He gives quietness,
who then can make trouble?"
Job 34: 29
One day in 1947, when Elisabeth Elliott was
a student at Wheaton College, she was
sitting
near a friend at the piano in one of the campus
buildings.
Elisabeth had written a short poem, and her
friend composed a melody on the spot. Over
time the melody was lost, but years later
Elisabeth included the words in her book
Keep a Quiet Heart.
"Lord, give to me a quiet heart
That does not ask to understand,
But confident steps forward in
The darkness guided by Thy hand."
We understand so little! God’s thoughts
are
as far above ours as heaven is above the earth.
He knows the plans He has for us, and they are
important.
Sometimes we feel life is insignificant, but
all of us are part of God’s sovereign design.
Life is important, and you can step confidently
forward knowing Your Lord is already there.
"We are created to glorify Him as long as we
live on this planet, and to enjoy Him for the
rest of eternity. Our task is simply to trust
and obey."
Elisabeth Elliott
