The presence of the Lord is the “light” which makes us glad
And gives us precious balance when the “news” is often bad.
We can be “uplifted” and have joy instead of gloom
If, in the midst of daily tasks, for Jesus we make room.
As we keep our focus on the joy He offers us
We will have composure which will be a blessed “plus”.
No matter what the daily news, we can have deep inner calm.
His presence is a precious shield... a very wondrous healing balm.
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is
stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
Isaiah 26:3 KJV
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
Psalm 16:11 KJV
