TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - JULY 24, 2024

Resolving to the One

Today July 24, 2024

Welcome to your mid-week!

When we are saved, we become the temple of the Spirit of God. He resides in us always. Meaning, at any time, we can feel the presence of God. However, may times we don’t. This is why God told the Psalmist of Psalm 46 to

be still.

To

be still

is not to quiet oneself before the Lord. The original word is to let go, to weaken, to give up. What is pictured is a person swinging his sword in combat against another person and someone else coming up to that person and saying to stop swinging; to stop fighting; to

be still.

And when we release that tension with the Lord, that is when we experience God’s presence again. For, it is not God who leaves us or abandons us when we don’t feel his presence. It is us who turn our backs on him.

God’s blessing upon you as you meditate on what it means surrendering to the Lord, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.

- Rev. Frank Kim
