While watching the sunrise, having my coffee with Jesus, I stumbled across a poem. I don’t have all of the background about it yet, but it has the initials L.S.P. I felt called to share it with you today.
The adverse winds
blew against my life;
My little ship with grief was tossed.
My plans were gone–heart full of strife,
and all my hope seemed to be lost.
“Then HE arose” – one word of peace.
“There was a calm”–a sweet release.
A tempest great of doubt and fear
Possessed my mind; no light was there
To guide or make my vision clear.
Dark night! ‘Twas more than I could be –
“Then HE arose,” I saw his face–
“There was a calm” filled with HIS grace.
My heart was sinking ‘Neath the wave
Of deepening test and raging grief;
All seemed that lost, and then could save,
And nothing could bring me relief-
“Then HE arose”—and spoke one word,
“There was a calm!” IT IS THE LORD!
This day, let us cast our worries and anxieties on the Lord. When we begin this day knowing that we are being held up by our Creator, there is nothing we cannot do.
Have a blessed day!
