THIS IS JUST A RESTING PLACE by HELEN STEINER RICE SOMETIMES THE ROAD OF LIFE SEEMS LONG AS WE TRAVEL THROUGH THE YEARS AND, WITH A HEART THAT'S BROKEN AND EYES BRIMFUL OF TEARS, WE FALTER IN OUR WEARINESS AND SINK BESIDE THE WAY, BUT GOD LEANS DOWN AND WHISPERS, "CHILD, THERE'LL BE ANOTHER DAY"- AND THE ROAD WILL GROW MUCH SMOOTHER AND MUCH EASIER TO FACE, SO DO NOT BE DISHEARTENED- THIS IS JUST A "RESTING PLACE." THE LORD'S PROMISE IS SURE. HE SPEAKS NO CARELESS WORD: ALL HE SAYS IS PUREST TRUTH, LIKE SILVER SEVEN TIMES REFINED. PSALM 12:6 TLB WHEN I SUFFER, THIS COMFORTS ME: YOUR PROMISE GIVES ME LIFE. PSALM 119:50 NCV HE IS THE ONE WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND EVERTHING IN THEM. HE IS THE ONE WHO KEEPS EVERY PROMISE FOREVER. PSALM 146:6 NLT SURELY GOODNESS AND LOVINGKINDNESS WILL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE, AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER. PSALM 23:6 NAS MY MERCY WILL STAY WITH HIM FOREVER: MY PROMISE TO HIM IS UNBREAKABLE. PSALM 89:28 GOD'S WORD
