I have a "tune for Tuesday." The song "Constantly Abiding" was sung as a special on Sunday and it has been going through my mind ever since.
There's a peace in my heart that the world never gave,
a peace it can not take away;
tho the trials of life may surround like a cloud,
I've a peace that has come there to stay!
All the world seemed to sing of a Savior and King
When peace sweetly came to my heart;
Troubles all fled away and my night turned to day -
Blessed Jesus, how glorious Thou art.
This treasure I have in a temple of clay
While here on His footstool I roam;
But He's coming to take me, some glorious day,
Over there to my heavenly home!
Constantly abiding - Jesus is minel
Constantly abiding - Rapture divine!
He never leaves me lonely -
Whispers O so kind,
"I will never leave thee!"
Jesus is mine.
The peace of God is beyond comprehension. It is mine because I have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. How often do I take this for granted or repress the work of the Spirit in my life rather than using His presence to continue to purify my life? I am so thankful for the presence of the Lord. May my life show His presence by my actions and reactions.
This is one of my 'normal' tunes. It seems to go through my mind regularly. I may not get the words all right when I sing it to myself, but I get the message.
