From the Pen of the Pastor
by Pastor Gregory Ross
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His Name's sake. Psalm 23:1-3 (KJV)
Relaxation: To be in a state of calmness in our hearts, minds, and spirits.
Unfortunately, we live in a fast-paced world where technology and life in general, have led many of us to have very scattered, detached, and overwhelming lives. Things such as, trying to keep up with our family and friends through social media; trying to attend every zoom event that we can, and trying to wrestle with our own internal frustrations and disappointments, and the like, can cause an inability to relax.
In the 23rd Psalm, we are reminded that everything we need God has it. If we allow the Lord to shepherd us, He will lead us. Important to note: It does not mean that every path where He leads us will be smooth. There will be some rough patches, but because we know the Lord is leading us, our confidence rests in Him. God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory! The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein. Therefore, whatever you need God will supply. Relax.
