A Word From Pastor Matt

Be Still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10

When we were young we spent much of the summer at Woodhaven Shores where my Aunt Theresa owned a home on the lake. I remember teaching my brother Brian how to float in the water while we were there. Standing chest deep in the lake, I instructed him to lie on his back in the water while resting on my extended arms. Then I told him to relax as I slowly lowered my arms a few inches in the water below his body. And for a brief moment he was floating! But when he couldn’t feel the touch of my arms and fell slightly lower in the water, he started flailing about, trying to save himself from sinking — which ironically caused him to sink faster. But I never left his side. I was right there to catch him if necessary. He simply needed to relax and trust me.

Whenever I find myself flailing about emotionally over some new frightening or overwhelming situation, I think of this experience and hear the words of our heavenly Father: “Be still, and know that I am God!” God, the Creator of all that exists, is right here with me — with all of us — loving, caring for, and protecting us. How comforting and reassuring it is to know that God will take care of us no matter what happens!

Gracious God, help us continually to be aware of your presence and to remember we face nothing alone. Amen.
