Pursuit of Peace
This past Lord’s Day, Rev. Charles Garriott, Founder and Executive Director of the PCA’s Mission to North America’s Ministry to State, preached from Psalm 69:1–3 on the theme of pursuing peace in the midst of overwhelming distress. The psalmist’s cry from the deep waters is the cry of every believer who has known the weight of suffering and the silence that can accompany waiting on God. Yet the very act of crying out is itself an act of faith, a pursuit of peace that refuses to let go of the One who hears. The text reminds us that God is not absent in the flood, but present and worthy of our desperate, persistent trust.
