Be Still, My Soul


The comfort of spirituality is to rest assured that God is with you. In the midst of the storms of life, you can whisper to your soul, "Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side."


May this hymn written by Katharina Von Schlegel in 1697 minister strength and comfort to your soul.


1 Be still, my soul; the Lord 

is on thy side

Bear patiently the cross of 

grief or pain;

Leave to thy God to order and 

provide;

In every change he faithful 

will remain;

Be still, my soul: thy best, thy 

heavenly friend

Through thorny way leads to 

a joyful end


2. Be still, my soul, thy God 

doth undertake

To guide the future as he has 

the past

Thy hope, thy confidence let 

nothing shake

All now mysterious shall be 

bright at last

Be still, my soul; the waves 

and winds still know

His voice who ruled them 

while he dwelt below


3. Be still, my soul; when 

dearest friend depart

And all is darkened in the 

vale of tears

Then shalt thou better know 

his love, his heart

Who comes to soothe thy 

sorrow and thy fears

Be still, my soul, thy Jesus 

can repay

From his own fullness, all he 

takes away.


4. Be still, my soul; the hour 

is hastening on

When we shall be forever 

with the Lord.

When disappointment, grief 

and fear are gone

Sorrow forgot, love's purest 

joys restored

Be still, my soul, when 

change and tears are past

All safe and blessed we shall 

meet at last


"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." (Psalms 46:10)


Remain inspired!

Eyes are watching

Eyes are watching!!!!!!! Most things when done out of the sight of others, especially, things that are not worthy, what do we most of the times hear the perpetrators say; “nobody saw us or nobody was around”. Yes indeed, to them nobody saw them. But the most appropriate thing to be said is, “we did not see anybody around”, for all you know eyes are watching. The eyes that watch us one way or the other affect us, because a time will come when these same eyes are going to make decisions about us and pass out judgments. Yes, a time will come when the eyes that are monitoring and watching us will determine our future. One may ask in what way will these eyes determine our future? Let’s go to scripture and read something from there, ACTS 1:23, when the disciples had to replace Judas Iscariot, the bible says “so they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas and Mathias”. But before that, they had their criteria for choosing these two men. So you ask yourself how were the disciples able to c...

A Punctuation in History

 #BeInspiredToday 20-12-2022 A Punctuation in History The birth of Jesus has permanently altered the course of history in many ways, including how dates are recorded. The current global standard for the measurement of dates is known as the Gregorian calendar, named after Pope Gregory XIII, under whose tenure it was instituted. Both the Gregorian calendar, and its predecessor - the Julian calendar - are based on the supposed birth date of Jesus Christ. It was Dionysius Exiguus, a Christian monk, who first proposed in the year 525 that dates be recorded in reference to the birth of Jesus Christ, hence the invention of the acronyms BC ("Before Christ") and AD ("Anno Domini" - Latin for "In the year of the Lord"). In relatively recent times, some have tried to change this with the excuse that it is not fair to other religious faiths. But no matter who likes it or not, the birth of Jesus has become a globally accepted reference point for the reckoning of dates....

IS GOD SILENT OR WE ARE DEAF?

Erwin W. Lutzer in his book, Seven Reasons Why You Can Trust the Bible, narrates the story of Ingmar Bergman, a Swedish film director who one day stood next to a portrait of Christ in a cathedral in Europe and whispered, “Speak to me!” He only encountered dead silence after waiting enough while. It has been said Bergman was motivated by this experience to come out with a movie entitled Silence, which portrayed people who despaired in their attempt to seek God. Bergman’s frustration was evident in his words: “In our world, we hear only ourselves. No voice comes to us from outside the universe. When we seek a word from God, we are confronted with dead calm”. Well, a portrait of Christ cannot speak. It is only Christ himself who can speak. Imagine I take a photogragh of the prime minister of Britain and pose a question to it. I will certainly be confronted with dead silence. Does that mean Britain’s prime minister never speaks? If we cannot hear from God, the most logical conclusio...
