There’s a beautiful peace in knowing Christ sees your heart and circumstances and He has tenderly reassured you of His presence and path for you. When fervent prayer has preceded answers…an inner peace causes you to be immovable regardless of the storms around you. When you are misunderstood or judgements are made without intimate knowledge, you can rest knowing Christ will defend you Himself and He has seen it all. Every believer must come to a place where Christ holds the key to your heart and ultimately His approval and blessing reigns above any others. When lies are spoken of you, you need not avenge yourself….for Christ spoke not a word as He was falsely accused. Yet, silently….He surrendered to His Father’s plan. So shall we…and trust Christ will use it all for good.
There’s quiet strength
That wrestles not
When others wound
With wicked talk
When fighting back
Would, yes, make sense
Yet Christ soon says
Be still …resist.
For He will rise
On your behalf
And shine the truth
In times of wrath
And you will need not
Waste such time
For when He comes
He’ll shatter pride.
There’s wisdom in
A muzzled mouth
A silenced tongue
When noise resounds
For Christ inside
Sees everything
And quiet strength
He honors deep.
His peace it comes
And comforts thee
Reminds you
He will never leave
So never let
The tumultuous tide
Steal quiet strength
Or sleep in night.
A Mighty God
Is on your side
And He will sound
A battle cry
For none shall touch
His anointed ones
So pray for them
Before He comes.
