Resting In Safety

 

He calls us all to walk with Him
And in His Word remain,
But many prefer their own way,
And, His calling, disdain.
 
While those who turn to follow Him
And walk as He commands,
Will find the peace for which they long
Rests in His loving hands.
 
The quiet moment, the respite
From all our pain and fear,
We find when we turn back to Him,
Who loves and holds us dear.
 
Simple to say, but hard to do…
That truth I have long known,
But I’ve seen how, trusting in Him,
Both hope and peace have grown.
 
Now when the world starts whispering
Of all that might go wrong,
I listen to His Word instead
And, with faith growing strong,
I pray that those still wandering
Turn back before too long.
 
Job 11:18
You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
