Everything Depends Upon the Blessing of God

Church family,
What creates anxiety within you?
What keeps you up at night?
What are the things in your life that you worry about?
Do you think God cares about what you care about? That's the ultimate question.
And the answer is found in Psalm 127. This Psalm answers these questions and many more for the believer:
It answers the question, why does my building seem to be in vain?
It answers the question, why doesn't it seem like God watches over our nation?
It answers the question, how can I have freedom from my anxiety?
It answers the question, why does it seem God hasn't established my family?


And the answer comes at the pinnacle of the Psalm, in the very center of this song in verse 2: "for he gives to his beloved sleep". God gives. He gives sleep. He gives rest. He gives peace. He gives fulfillment. He gives freedom from anxiety. He gives freedom from worry. When it doesn't seem like things are going my way, and I get caught up in the hamster-wheel-of-worry, the solution is the very presence of God in my life. This is the simple but profound truth that we often forget. God's presence is the spiritual balm to my tired and weary soul. And complete dependence upon Him in all of life leads to true rest.

Looking forward to enjoying that rest with you this Sunday: Kyle
