I’ve been spending a lot of time in the past couple weeks reading and thinking about the Psalms. I love how firmly the Psalmists speaks about the power and strength of God despite his own doubt and struggle.— I love watching the this light come on for students and adults who are looking for some sense of purpose or desperately looking for a place to go to find refuge or escape from and are able to look to Jesus for both. The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.
For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths. (NLT) Psalm 24:1-2
We have a lot going on in the Month of May and a ton going on during this summer. God has been doing some incredible things with our students group—pray for them as they grow and are stretched to serve God in exciting ways.
