Recently, a guest hand-bell choir played a tune that I hadn't heard in years. We used to sing it often with our youth: "I've Got Peace Like a River in My Soul".
I remember earlier three books were published almost simultaneously: "Peace of Mind" by a psychologist, "Peace of Soul" by a priest, and "Peace with God" by Billy Graham. The authors were certainly scratching where people itch. I've said recently that no matter what happens to me physically, pain or paralysis, I believe I can handle it as long as there s a deep settled peace within. It is amazing how God provides this in seeming contradiction to external conditions and obstacles. I really praise God for that.
Today we still sing the old hymn, "When peace like a river attends my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll. Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul." He gives us peace.
