Assembly of God

Many people in Leisure World look forward to Pastor Sam Pawlak’s devotions on Facebook each Sunday at 10 a.m. Pastor Sam will bring the videotaped message this Sunday with special music by Carol Darnell and her daughter, Valerie Buterbaugh. On Monday, members of the congregation will receive the DVD along with the weekly bulletin and song sheet, thanks to Daina Mushagian and Denise Smith.

Psalm 62:7-8 is a comfort during these ever-present days of uncertainty: “On God rests my deliverance and my honor; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.” David wrote these words when he was surrounded by enemies (v.3,4) and still he waited patiently (v.5). God’s unfailing love is greater (v.12) then any of the struggles a person may face.

What are the struggles/ enemies today? Many face physical health challenges or personal injury as well as worry over the current rules of social distancing and face masks. In those times of struggle, it is important to return to these verses in Psalm 62 - God is our refuge and our strength. Read his world and commune with him daily.
