"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." John 14:1
'"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27
Throughout my entire life, I have always considered myself a strong person, not afraid of virtually anything. In large part, I think this was a result of the gifts of independence and confidence my parents gave me. Of course, without my strong faith and belief in God, I would not be the person I am.
But with all this "confidence" I have been known to get myself in trouble because, I would forget from where my strength came. I venture out on my on and think "I've got this". Whoops! There are other times, when situations arise and I just feel troubled or disturbed. Perhaps of something I've done but maybe not. It could be a result of things just going on around us and that strength and confidence is weakened just a little. I sometimes have given into my worry and stress.
"He Whispers Sweet Peace To Me" was written in 1932 by William M. Ramsey and I awoke to it this morning. I do not recall the last time I heard it sung. If I was to guess, it would be in the mid 90's when I attended a concert with the McKameys singing on the program. I heard The McKameys a year or so ago, but I do not recall them singing "He Whispers Sweet Peace To Me".
During my weakest moment (physically) I believe I was at my strongest moment spiritually. I was not able to read The Bible from where I always have gained strength, but thank God, so much of the scriptures were in my heart. So many of the sweet hymns would play in my thoughts. And there was always, that still small voice, whispering sweet peace to me. How anyone can go without God in their life, without accepting Jesus as their only hope, I will never understand. If they only knew what I know. If they could only feel what I feel. I love having the confidence, the promises, the comfort and peace that goes beyond all understanding. I'm glad "He Whispers Sweet Peace To Me".
I woke up to hearing The McKameys this morning, but as I listened to You Tube, I heard several other versions that I enjoyed and then I couldn't decide which one to post. I narrowed it down to two. I pray you will be blessed by at least one of them.
Wishing you a beautiful day!
