The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.”
— Jeremiah 31:3 (NKJV) —

My Hope Is In You.
And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.
— Psalms 39:7 (NKJV) —
The Holy Bible.
The first book profiled in our Reading Corner just had to be the Holy Bible! There is no greater book ever written! We can’t even begin to feature the glories of the Bible in just one blog post, so instead we’ll focus on online and mobile Bible resources that are available for free. These resources feature many versions of the Bible, but we recommend the New King James Version (NKJV). It’s accurate and maintains the legacy of the King James Version, but without the thee’s and thou’s.
Reading the Bible online:
Biblegateway is our go-to website for reading the Bible online. It’s free and includes keyword search and many other great features.
Mobile Apps:
We love the YouVersion Bible app. It’s free and is available for Android, iPhone, Windows, and Blackberry. This app has a Verse of the Day, and includes archives of previous Verses of the Day. You can sort the books of the Bible alphabetically or in the standard order. Once you select a book, you can jump to a specific chapter, and then specific verse. One feature that we particularly love about the YouVersion app is that you can highlight a specific verse you’re reading (or multiple verses) and then share the verse via any other app you have (text message, email, Twitter, etc.) or copy the verse directly to the clipboard.
Welcome to the Reading Corner!
Welcome to the Reading Corner! This is a new section of our website where we will be featuring spiritual books and other reading materials that have been a blessing to us in our walk with Jesus Christ. Many of these books are available to read for free either online or via mobile apps, or both! We hope you check back often!
A Place of Refuge.
In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge.
— Proverbs 14:26 (NKJV) —
On Christ the Solid Rock.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
We love Glad’s version of this beautiful hymn. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Sing to the Lord.
Sing to the Lord, for He has done excellent things; this is known in all the earth.
— Isaiah 12:5 (NKJV) —
God Will Take Care of You.
Be not dismayed whate’er betide
God will take care of you
Beneath His wings of love abide
God will take care of you
Depths of the Sea.
He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities.
You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
— Micah 7:19 (NKJV) —
All Things Were Made Through Him.
All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
— John 1:3 (NKJV) —
The following free verse poem was written by a friend who wishes to be known as R.S. He has generously contributed this poem to Peace for the Storm.
The God that I know,
The God who has revealed Himself to me through His holy Word,
The God who surrendered His Son’s life on the cross, so I could have eternal life,
The God who gave me free will,
The God who created me in His image and likeness,
The God who spoke all things into existence,
The God who so loved the world,
The Creator of heaven and earth,
Is a God of substance.
Is a God of consequence.
I live because His breath is inside me.
I know because His word is inside me.
I believe because His truth is inside me.
I am His temple.
I am His bride.
I am His child.
I am His church.
This is my faith.
This is my hope.
This is my salvation.
This is my strength.
This is my resurrection.
This is my rising sun.
This is my evidence.
I will not be shaken, for I trust the Lord more than I fear the storm.
