Are you feeling troubled today?

Do you feel overwhelmed by responsibilities – family, work? Are you worried, weary, anxious, edgy?

Here’s encouragement from Matthew Henry’s commentary on Isaiah 30:15:

——————————————————————————————————————-
Would we be strengthened to do what is required of us and to bear what is laid upon us? It must be in quietness and in confidence; we must keep our spirits calm and sedate by a continual dependence upon God, and his power and goodness; we must retire into ourselves with a holy quietness, suppressing all turbulent and tumultuous passions, and keeping the peace in our own minds.

And we must rely upon God with a holy confidence that he can do what he will and will do what is best for his people. And this will be our strength; it will inspire us with such a holy fortitude as will carry us with ease and courage through all the difficulties we may meet with.

I found this video montage with Fernando Ortega’s “Give Me Jesus.” I hope this quiets your heart at this moment, as it did mine. In our difficulties, let’s say to our hearts: Give me Jesus!
