Thoughts for reflection . . . (The Secret Place)

When pressures and stresses daily increase,
And seem to do all they can to steal away our peace.
When storm clouds may be building and the thunder may roar,
And the sun's face is hidden and doesn't seem to shine any more.
(Is 50.10)

Then this is the time when that secret place we must seek.
The place of stillness and calm found only at our Saviour's feet.
His peace is unlike any other, His love can none compare.
His faithfulness reaches to the heavens, and His presence is always there.
(Ps27.5, Ps91.1, Luke10.39-42, John14.27, Phil4.6-7, Eph 3.17-19)

So seek Him and we will find Him, that is the promise in His Word.
As we put our faith and trust in Him we will see a sure reward.
For we must turn our lives over to Jesus, the One who is so worthy.
Of all our praise and worship not just for the now but eternally.
(Matt 7.7, Jer29.9, Heb11.6, Rev5.12)

So these are some keys of how to walk above the storms.
How to win the victory when all things around are so far from calm.
Find and live in the secret place of the Most High where nothing can trouble or distress.
And we will then experience the peace of God in the midst of every test.
(Ps91, Ps112.7-8, Ps16.8, Ps25.14)
