I know nothing which can so comfort the soul; so calm the swelling billows of sorrow and grief; so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead.

From Isaiah 26:3:  “Those of steadfast mind You keep in peace, in peace because they trust in You.“

Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) was an influential English preacher.  Even in modern times, his writings and many sermons have remained a constant source of encouragement to Christians around the world.  He has often be referred to as the “Prince of Preachers.”

Driving life’s busy highway

Just needing some time away

 

Leaving busy, urban noise

Seeking tranquility’s home

Recharging worn batteries

Favorite place, freedom roams

 

Returning to hidden lake

Aligning with nature’s bond

Feeling every peaceful breath

Slice of spirit’s “Walden Pond”

 

Stirring calm with each sunrise

Refreshing body and mind

Leaving behind each trouble

Life as Creator designed

 

Enjoying one more sunset

Viewing water’s dancing light

Witnessing lasting comfort

Lake’s rhythm, now taking flight

 

Bringing each melody back

Life finds its own steady track

But life is a battle:  may we all be enabled to fight it well.

When we stay focused on Jesus, we can take comfort in knowing He’ll lead us through the hard places.

From Isaiah 41:10:  “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with My victorious right hand.”

Holy, living water

Flowing from Father’s hand

Deliverance blesses

Saving from sinking sand

 

Comfort’s spring renewing

Proclaiming Father’s love

Selfless with compassion

Sending grace from above

 

Tragedy reaches out

Hearing each heartfelt cry

Spirit guiding prayer

Bringing forth hope from high

 

Actions follow His light

Sharing words of support

Father’s eternal spring

Returning ship to port

 

Oaks of righteousness call

Comforting life like rain

His mercy never ends

Trusting Father again

Life draining, more exhausted each day

Skies and mind, filling with darkest gray

 

Feet feeling locked, stuck in deepest mud

Fear turns on its spigot, now a flood

 

Advice shouts from all comers, all sides

Inner soul overwhelmed, faith divides

 

Daily walk, no longer stunning bright

Chaos reigns, becoming lasting night

 

Seasoned man, parked at Main Street’s corner

Life hits pause, who is this foreigner?

 

His thoughts and words, simple in their task

Holy Spirit reaches, to unmask

 

Keep it simple, fill your life with love

God’s peace, bringing comfort from above

 

In an instant, the wise sage departs

Night transforms to day, love fills this heart
