I Want My Soul to Be Quieted

The unbeliever who is ignorant or rejects the comfort that arises from God’s grace 

• has to look for another source of comfort. 
• Nevertheless, the most they can find in this life 
• is some temporary respite from the miserable consequences of sin. 

They might be able to amass some wealth, 

• so that they can enjoy some physical comforts, such as a nice home and good food. 
• They do not have the discomfort of being left out in the cold, 
• nor the discomfort of hunger pains. 

They might be able to make advancements in medicine, 

• which alleviate some of the pain and suffering which man would otherwise experience. 
• Yet such “comforts” only affect the outward body. 
• The believer, however, enjoys peace of mind. 
• His soul is quieted within him.
