Over the course of the last month or so, a tune has been in my head. I am not exactly sure where it came from or why the tune suddenly began to play in the quietness of my heart. But, what I kept hearing was: “Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest; Finding as He promised, Perfect peace and rest.”
After thinking it through for a couple of moments, I remember the first verse of this wonderful hymn which reads:
Like a river glorious is God’s perfect peace
Over all victorious in its bright increase
Perfect, yet it floweth fuller every day
Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way
CHORUS
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding as He promised
Perfect peace and rest.
What a wonderful reminder of God’s love and peace that he brings! God’s peace is steady and constant and full—like a river, Glorious! We live in a fast paced, high energy world. It is incredibly hard to get away from the noise. However, as we fix our eyes on God (Stayed upon Jehovah) our hearts are fully blest!
The picture of a glorious peaceful river is a wonderful image of the peace that God offers. It is wonderful to walk beside still waters and listen to quietness in the morning. This is the peace that is offered when we fix our eyes on him.
Are your eyes fixed on God? Though fixing your eyes on him—there you can find peace.
