From the Pastor’s Desk

June 25, 2025

“I look at Him and He looks at me and I am content.”

This quote is from a humble man who was asked by a religious leader why he just sat silent in the church

for long periods of time? There is something about being still in the presence of God and experiencing

the peace that only the Holy Spirit can bring. AW Tozer calls this concept “the gaze of the soul upon a

saving God”. Tozer shares that faith isn’t just a one-time experience but a continuing connection with

our loving Lord through prayer, stillness and abiding in His presence. As we look toward God in

dependence and submission, we are rewarded with His abiding joyful peace.

How is your joyful-peace quotient doing today? Take some time to abide in His presence and experience

that peace that passes all understanding.

Gazing at Him,

Pastor Chris Yount
