Mar.14.03: Light For The Day - "Peace On Stormy Seas" -- Isaiah 48:18 (NLT) "The LORD, your Redeemer, ... says: I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is good and leads you along the paths you should follow. 18 Oh, that you had listened to my commands! Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river and righteousness rolling like waves." ---------------------------------- "Peace On Stormy Seas" I sailed upon a tranquil sea Where all was peace and calm; I felt my life serene and blessed, I knew not storm or qualm. Then clouds of doubt began to form, The wind did stir and blow; My tranquil sea did heave and toss, I felt my anguish grow. I cried, "Dear Lord, are you out there? You see my ship storm-tossed? Why do you leave me here alone? I fear I may be lost." God smiled and spoke these simple words, "Peace my child, just be still; I'm the God of the raging sea, The waves obey my will." "Hook your anchor onto 'The Rock' That holds your vessel sure. No evil can alarm you child, I'll keep your life secure." "No harm will touch you if you trust And place your faith in me; Your storm-tossed ship will once again Sail on a tranquil sea." "So do not fear the storms of life That oft assail your soul; I am the Master of the Sea, I'm always in control." "The storms will surely strengthen you When on rough seas you sail, For you will know the victory That comes when you prevail." -- Linda J. Stevenson --------------------------- -- Psalms 119:165 (NKJV) "Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble." -- John 14:27 (NKJV) "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." -- John 16:33 (NKJV) "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
