Rest and be thankful.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
10 He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.’
11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Psalm 46
On the trip around the coast road of the Great Orme, you will find a small cafe called the ‘Rest and be Thankful‘. With the August bank holiday week-end soon upon us, and a time where often people get very busy trying to relax, I thought it would be good to reflect upon the above Psalm that encourages us to ‘rest’ and ‘be thankful’.
So this coming ‘Bank Holiday‘ week-end, I encourage you to take some time to ‘be still and know’ that He is God.
Relieve yourself of all of your stresses and pressures and….
‘Rest and be thankful.’
This is definitely a great piece of advice for all of the amazing and fantastic volunteers that help out in all of the different projects that Llandudno Youth for Christ run.
They have all had a very busy year, and indeed a busy summer and they themselves need to set aside some time to ‘rest’ and ‘be thankful’.
In-fact, with the new academic season upon us in September, following the bank holiday week-end, we will be in need of more volunteers to fill gaps, as some of our volunteers are soon to be moving on to different endeavours, and some need a well earned rest.
If you have a passion for seeing young people impacted by our amazing God, and feel that you could spare one evening a week, then please contact us on 07517 429 763 or llandudnoyfc@gmail.com
We would greatly appreciate your help.
