SIT STILL Sit still, my children! Just sit calmly still! Nor deem these days--these waiting days--as ill! The One who loves you best, who plans your way, Has not forgotten your great need today! And, if He waits, its sure He waits to prove To you His tender child, His hearts deep love. Sit still, my children! Just sit calmly still! You greatly long to know your dear Lords will! While anxious thoughts would almost steal their way Corroding within, because of His delay-- Persuade yourself in simple faith to rest That He, who knows and loves, will do the best. Sit still, my children! Just sit calmly still! Nor move one step, not even one, until His way has opened. Then, ah, then how sweet! How glad your heart, and then how swift your feet, Your inner being then, ah then, how strong! And waiting days not counted then too long. Sit still, my sons & daughters! Just sit calmly still! What higher service could you for Him fill? Its hard! ah yes! But choicest things must cost! For lack of losing all how much is lost! Its hard, its true! But then--He gives you grace To count the hardest spot on the sweetest place. By J. Danson Smith James 5:7-8 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 2Thess 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. The Bible tells us to be patient and wait for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord is our Blessed Hope. In this world we have troubles. We have tribulations. We have burdens--But in the midst of it all, we have a blessed Savior who promised that He would see us through every trial. How would we ever know the goodness of God if we never witnessed His faithfulness in our circumstances? The Lord is with us and we have this assurance that the Lord will keep us and preserve us. He will be with us throughout our years. As we patiently wait for His appearing, we are to cast all of our care upon Jesus for He cares for us. Romans 5:1-5: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
