Rest

The one word I have heard repeatedly from the Lord over the past several weeks now has been the one activity I am least capable of achieving—on my own!  And that is to rest . . .

Anxiety, fills me . . .

Hurry, pushes me . . .

Noise, encompasses me . . .

Control, defines me . . .

Busyness, surrounds me . . .
Fear, threatens me . . .

But rest  ? ? ?

Rest, eludes me . . .

Didn’t I just write about this in April? 
Writing about truth is one thing . . . learning to live truth is another!

“Come to Me, all who are weary 

and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”  

Nearness to Jesus offers me the rest I desperately need for refreshing.  As I abide in Him I collect His strength and recover from the constant onslaught of heaviness living on earth creates. 

A heart at rest is kept quiet, calm and expectantly patient!

One tangible way He is teaching me how to rest . . .

“Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD.” (Exodus 14:13)

“Sit still . . . until you know how the matter will turn out.” (Ruth 3:18)

“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)

Hoping (and praying!) to be a quick learner! J
