Beyond the Gist

Psalm 57:1

1. The safest place in a storm is God our refuge.

2. The storms may bring destruction, but they will pass by.

3. God grants refuge because He is merciful.

Psalm 100, Chris Tomlin - https://youtu.be/NaL_VeHil6U

What is your current energy level? Are you tired? Do you feel worn out or run down? In this episode, I share three takeaways from reflecting on Isaiah 40 that offer hope to the weary.

1. God is more aware of our weary state and the reasons for it than we ever could be.
