                                                                      A Quiet Heart

                                "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength."
                                                                                        ~ Isaiah 30:15

  "It is weakness to be fretting and worrying, questioning and mistrusting. Do we not unfit ourselves for action, and unhinge our minds for wise decision? We are sinking by our struggles when we might float by faith.
  Oh, for grace to be quiet! Why run from house to house repeating the weary story that makes us more and more heartsick as we tell it? Why stay at home to cry out in agony because of wretched forebodings that may never by fulfilled? Be  still and know that Jehovah is God!
  Oh, for grace to be confident in God! Every word of His will stand though the mountains should depart. He deserves to be happy as the spirits before the throne. Return unto your rest, and lean your head upon the Lord Jesus." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
