Who but He, the “God of all comfort,” can give
quietness in the midst of tumults which rise upon the soul like
sudden storms upon the sea? Like ocean mariners in peril, we cry
unto Him, and He brings us to the desired haven blessed haven of
quietness and peace in God. What is the cry which brings this answer
of peace? It is not a prayer that all occasion for disturbance shall
be removed, for it is not always the Divine will to bring peace to
the human spirit in that way; it is not always the best way. But
there is a cry which never fails to bring the quietness in which
none can “make trouble.” It is a prayer for sweet, trustful, loving
acquiescence in the will of
God. |
