My God, Thank You For Quieting Me
August 5 Scripture Meditations Based on Jeremiah 46-52
Key Verse – Jeremiah 47:6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR QUIETING ME
Thank You for quieting me from restlessness
Due to sinfulness’ oppressiveness
As you reprove my soul against selflessness
By Your loving kindness.
Thank You for quieting me from anxiety
Due to transgressions’ enmity
As you check my heart against vanity
By Your gracious authority.
Thank You for quieting me from destruction
Due to abominations’ corruption
As you increase my faith against obstruction
By Your powerful redemption.
Thank You for quieting me from idolatry
Due to pride’s entry
As you rebuke my fear against valor in stewardship infantry
By Your biblical ministry.
Thank You for quieting me from indolence
Due to sluggardness’ prevalence
As you discipline my attitude against insolence
By Your righteous opulence.
Thank You for quieting me from hypocrisy
Due to contentment’s deficiency
As you mold my character against inconsistency
By Your tender mercy.
Thank You for quieting me from detriment
Due to worldliness’ involvement
As you appraise my commitment against shallow engagement
By Your eternal investment.
