Beside Still Waters


Psalm 23



By faith we sit beside still waters in this time of great turbulence.

What is Faith?

Hebrews 11:1 Faith is being sure of what we hope for.  It is being certain of what we do not see.

In the presence of God we all sit beside still waters, we know ourselves through the unconditional love of God – know ourselves to have all we need and perfect through love.

Does this mean we will be free of hardship, pain, humiliation, disappointment, grief?  No, it means that when we find ourselves struggling if we take the time to be present with God we will find a calm still place of assurance.

If through faith we remain mindful of God’s constant presence, calm our breathing, silence our minds and open our hearts we will find God’s love and in this love we find ourselves to be beside still waters.

Thank you Paul Klassen for today’s message.
