It
will rule very quietly in your soul, but rule with kingly power. The
waters can not rise in trouble where peace holds sway. When this secret
power has dominion in our hearts, it speaks peace to all around. It says
to the waves and the winds, "Peace, be still." On the attacking fears, on
the threatening circumstances, it lays a quiet hand and whispers, "Peace,
be still," and great is the calmness of thy soul.
SOME SCRIPTURES FOR DAILY PRACTISE.
If we seek God earnestly in the prayer of faith to help us in our daily
practise of the following Scriptural texts and then put forth our best
efforts, we shall find life daily growing more holy and beautiful. The
beauty and enjoyment of a holy life is that it can always be improved
upon. We can live in all the light that shines upon us from these texts
today, but tomorrow we find them shining a little brighter and fuller
light, so that we shall have to live a little more holy than we are living
today. Thus, all along our Christian way we shall find that we are growing
and becoming holier in life, and more of the transcendent beauty of Jesus
will be seen upon us.
