God, my Exceeding Joy: Peace, quietness, trust

About Me

Location: Oregon, United States

I met my husband while I was a missionary in Hong Kong. He had swum out of China after the Cultural Revolution. We have been married 32 years and have four children (2 biological and 2 adopted), ages 22-30. My mother also lives with us (she just turned 90). I am truly a blessed woman.

Peace, quietness, trust

As you go through this day, with all of its hurry and scurry, meditate on these gems from God's word.

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you.”

"Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.—“I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”

“Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?”—Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.—“In quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”

"And the result of righteousness [shall be] quietness and trust forever.—“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”—Peace from him who is and who was and who is to come."

Isa. 26:3; Ps. 55:22; Isa. 12:2; Matt. 8:26; Phil. 4:6, 7; Isa. 30:15; Isa. 32:17; John 14:27; Rev. 1:4

eyes wide open said...: You cannot produce trust just like you cannot 'do' humility. It either is, or is not. Trust is the fruit of a relationship in which you know you are loved. Because you do not know that I love you, you cannot trust me. The Shack
