14 Days of God's Promises - Day #13

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed 

on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 

-Isaiah 26:3

Perfect peace---ah, precious promise.

E'en with storms around, within,

We've a shelter in our Saviour,

He has promised peace to them:

Those whose minds are stayed and trusting,

 Him alone our mighty God.

For with eyes on such a Saviour,

All our fears become so small.

The stormy winds and waves so high,

Will calm at His command.

Dear Saviour, hear our cries to Thee,

O hold us with Thy hand.

Let not our eyes, like Peter's did, 

Look round upon the waves, 

And seeing such, fear grip our hearts, 

And sinking, go astray.

O keep our minds e'er stayed on Thee, 

Just trusting as a child; 

We need Thy gracious keeping, Lord,

Each day and ev'ry hour. 

O dost thou know this mighty LORD, 

My friend, I ask thee now? 

Does trembling fill thy heart with fear--

And anxious is thy brow?

Do sins, like mighty billows roll,

Within thy heart, till all,

Seems bleak and hopeless, 

As you fight, but winnest not at all. 

There's peace for you! Sweet peace, my friend,

O! heed His mighty call. 

Look to the Lamb of God and find, 

This PERFECT PEACE with God. 

O if your sins are burdensome, to you, 

Then you can find,

Sweet rest in Jesus Christ, our Lord,

Who shed His Blood and died.

His Blood was shed the debt to pay, 

For all those who believe, 

Each one of those who comes to Him, 

Eternal life receives. 

He rose again, in victory! 

O'er death, sin, and the grave.  

Repent and seek Him, while you may,

For if you will not heed:

 You'll find yourself one dreadful day....

Eternally cast away.

JESUS CHRIST SAID:

"Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, 

and I will give you rest."

-Matthew 11:28

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 

 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 

 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 

2 Peter 3:10-14
