In the middle of a chaotic world, where do you turn to ground yourself? It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle of caring for everyone else—our families, our friends, our responsibilities—while completely neglecting our own spiritual health. But we cannot pour from an empty cup.
As shared by Pastor Christine Ischy, in Sunday's sermon, Steadfast: Calm In The Chaos:
"Do you delight in the Lord? Do you meditate on the Lord day and night? And how is it with your soul? You cannot care for others the way God intended if you don't tend to and cultivate and shepherd your own soul in your relationship with Jesus. You cannot be a witness for Him if you don't take care of yourself first."
If you are looking for the ultimate guide to soul-tending, look no further than the Book of Psalms. The Psalms give us a language for the chaos, but more importantly, they provide the exact cultivation our souls need. When we meditate on them, they become a anchor of calm—shifting our focus from the storm around us to the Shepherd who holds us. 📖✨
Before you jump into the rush of the week, take a moment to pause. Sit in the Psalms, delight in His presence, and let Him restore your heart first. 🤍
