Bringing You the Latest Buzz from Grace Fellowship

PASTOR'S PEN

From the desk of Pastor Paul

I have been refreshed recently through Psalm 91 (the second most-read psalm, after Psalm 23). It begins, "Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'"

I have been asking the Lord, "How can I better dwell in Your presence?" The word dwell means to make your house, your abode—to pitch your tent—with all that you are in God's presence. I believe that God is saying, "Trust Me in every detail of your life." To dwell means to focus your heart and mind on trusting and thanking God while remaining conscious of His presence. I am not dwelling when I become anxious and take things into my own hands, but when I allow the presence and peace of God to settle over my heart.

Nothing is wasted when you walk closely with the Lord. Even our mistakes and sins can be redeemed and transformed into something good through His grace and presence. How good it is to dwell in the presence of the Lord.

The Last 100 Days—The Time is Now!

👆

As we work to finish this building project well, it is important to remember that this is about more than construction. We are building a place for ministry, worship, discipleship, healing, and generations yet to come. And every person has a part in that story.

Some may give substantially, others less; the amount does not matter. Others may pray faithfully. Some may serve quietly behind the scenes. Others may encourage when weariness sets in.

God has uniquely placed gifts, resources, encouragement, and purpose within each person. When we all bring our piece, the picture begins to come together in a way that reflects His glory and His faithfulness.

As we continue moving forward together, may we remember this: no role is too small, no gift is insignificant, and no act of obedience goes unnoticed by God.

Every piece matters.
