SCRIPTURE

"Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee." — Psalms 116:7 (ASV)

Return ... —In a very different spirit from the fool’s address to his soul in the parable. The psalmist’s repose is not the worldling’s serenity nor the sensualist’s security, but the repose of the quiet conscience and the trusting heart.
