[Manna - November 28]
When He giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? Job 34:29
WHO but He, the 'God of all comfort,' can give
quietness in the midst of tumults which rise upon the
soul like sudden storms upon the sea?
Like ocean
mariners in peril, we cry unto Him, and He bringeth
us to the desired haven—blessed haven—of quietness
and peace in God.
What is the cry which brings this answer of peace?
It is not a prayer that all occasion for disturbance
shall be removed, for it is not always the divine will
to bring peace to the human spirit in that way; it
is not always the best way.
But there is a cry which
never fails to bring the quietness in which none can
'make trouble.' It is the prayer for sweet, trustful
loving acquiescence in the will of God." Z. '96-259 R2058:3
