Canadian Region 2019 Report
Psalm 95: 1-7
“Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.”
My husband likes to listen to the news on the radio in the morning. After hearing all the atrocities happening around the world, the foolish decisions of my country’s government, the complete lack of morals and faith that my culture is descending into, it’s easy for me to feel that I am hard done by. It’s easy to lose sight
of who holds the world in his hands, when it feels as though so much is going wrong around me. This Psalm is a great comfort to me because it puts my life back into
perspective. I am the sheep of God’s pasture. What better thing to be than his creature, watched and cared for. No matter the chaos around us or the troubles, we
are called to sing songs of joy to the Lord, and give him thanks and praise. No God is like our God. He is the only one.
The wives of the Canadian LB pastors, met together for a retreat in Saskatoon for the first time in November of 2018. The weekend was a time of great
encouragement for all of us who are so spread out that community can feel scarce at times. Carol Ann Kopperud taught about Moses. His life and ministry and his failings. We hope to meet again this November and make the retreat an annual event.
