In Psalm 94:19, we read: "In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul." It is 4:00 on Friday afternoon, and when I think of things that need to be done before the Lord's Day, I feel a little overwhelmed! It is in these times that I love to think of that beautiful hymn, "Be Still, my Soul." Just the title quiets my mind and heart!
This hymn was originally written in German by Katharina von Schlegel in 1752. Even though it was written over 300 years ago, the desires of the heart and the needs of human conditions are timeless. I love these words -- "Leave to thy God to order and provide. In every change, He faithful will remain." What comforting and wonderful truth -- Jesus is providing for me, and He will Always be faithful. Life brings many unpredictable changes, but Jesus remains the same! His "goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life..."
So -- "Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side. In every change He faithful will remain. Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly Friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end." Amen!
