That are four very important words for all of us. Are you looking for calm, quiet, ease and peace?
Listen to what I read this morning in a book written by C.H. Spurgeon: His text is Jeremiah 23:6 “THE LORD IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
This is the first sentence in his book “Morning and Evening”: “It will always give a Christian the greatest calm, quiet, ease and peace to think of the perfect righteousness of Christ.”
Praise the LORD!
Exodus 23:25,26
“WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD,
— and his blessing will be on your food
— and water.
— I will take away sickness from among you,
— and none will miscarry
— or be barren in your land.
— I will give you a full life span.” – In Psalm 90:10 we find the span of our days mentioned.
“The length of our days is seventy years – or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.”
Genesis 26:28
“They answered, ‘We saw clearly that the Lord was with you;….'”
Notice the word clearly!
What do people see clearly when they have a meeting with us?
“ALL FRUITFULNESS IS
TOUCHED
WITH THE
CROSS.”

It is written in Isaiah the prophet:
1. “I will send my messenger ahead of you,
–who will prepare your way” –
2. “a voice calling in the desert,
–‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
–make straight paths for him.’ “
