Please don't go away, until I come to you, and bring out my present, and lay it before you. He said, I will wait until you come again.
Now let us spend a few minutes in considering God’s comfort of his servant. “﻿The Lord said unto him, Shalom peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.﻿” The Lord would not have his Gideons disturbed in mind. If we are to trouble the enemy we must not be troubled ourselves. Notice, brethren, the great power of God in speaking home the truth. Suppose I salute you with, “﻿Brethren, peace be to you.﻿” That would be a sweet word; but when the Lord says it, you feel the peace itself. Suppose Peter had stood up in that bark which was tossed upon the Galilean lake, and had said to the waves, “﻿Be still﻿”: the waves would not have taken much notice of him, and the whistling blast would have defied him; but when Jesus said, “﻿Peace, be still,﻿” the rampant lions of the sea crouched at his feet, and there was a great calm.
