TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - August 10, 2022
Wednesday, August 10, 2022 at 10:26AM Sleeping In Peace
Today is August 10, 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
Charles H. Spurgeon once said, “The sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which the child of God rests His head at night, giving perfect peace.”
If only it were so easy to trust in the sovereignty of God each night, then none of us would be tossing and turning from all the anxiety and stress that we face.
However, the beauty of King David's example is that he shows us the way to ultimately trust in the sovereignty of God and to find that rest. And what does King David show us?
Well, he shows us screaming and yelling and wrestling with the Lord. He shows us what it takes to remember who we confessed as being Lord over us. He shows us how it is a chapter to chapter journey; a day to day journey. That, on some days, it is the Lord that sustains us, not the circumstances of our situations. However, on other days, we forget and need to be crying out to the Lord again.
But, ultimately, King David does show us how the sovereignty of God gives us rest. When we ultimately come to the Lord with a contrite and humble heart, acknowledging his lordship and love for us, then we can patiently, in faith, trust that God is working all things for good and that a harvest of joy will come.
From there, then we can lie down in peace and sleep.
God's blessing as you lift up your stresses and anxieties to our Lord, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
