I've seen these three words. I've read them. I've written about them. I know that before they are spoken there are storm clouds and the sea is in turmoil. How firm will your trust be if those three words are spoken into the wind, into the choppy waves? Will you watch the lightning that precedes? Will you shelter yourself from the torrent? Will you hide your face from the dark clouds? Or will you hear those three words, Quiet, be still, and still be afraid? copyright 2023 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Jesus stood up and commanded the wind,  “Be quiet!”  and he said to the waves,  “Be still!”   The wind died down, and there was a great calm. Mark 4:39   Rembrandt - Christ in the Storm on the Lake of Galilee Quiet, be still, calm the storm in my restless soul, sooth the waves threatening to drown me, carry me away into the depths. I cry out in despair and for a moment I am tormented by doubt. You tell me to have faith. You tell me You will answer my prayers to the best of my needs. You allow the storm to cleanse, to take from me pride, leaving in its wake humility. You will not allow the boat to capsize, and be taken away by the sea. Quiet, be still, You have not abandoned Your child. I am cradled in the palm of Your hand, calmed by Your touch, by Your voice as the waters around me settle peacefully at Your command. copyright 2017 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./auth...
