Be Not Troubled
“Let not your heart be troubled”* midst uncertainty
Believe in God along His sovereignty…
Trust Him Who’s the Source of eternal life’s bounty
Rely on His might as your soul-salvation’s security.
“Let not your heart be troubled” despite seemingly bleak future
Have faith in the Saviour with His compassion’s gesture
He’s the good Shepherd Who leads toward grace-pasture
Against cravings offered by materialistic culture.
“Let not your heart be troubled” in serving the Lord God
Always abide in Him and in His Word for His approval’s nod
Use the Spirit’s sword as well as steward’s faithfulness-rod
Follow His leading, walking upon servitude paths He trod.
“Let not your heart be troubled”** with the Father’s assurance
Being His child of spiritual abundance and peace-appearance
Keep on praying fervently along faith’s endurance
While testifying about Christ’s love and mercy’s forbearance.
“Let not your heart be troubled” as blessings you share
Be a blessing to others with concern and care
Declare the Gospel redemption for souls’ welfare
For them to enjoy heavenly mansions***, divinely rare.
*John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
**John 14:27 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.
***John14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
