Where do we find rest, would I stop the world and get off this race of life that keeps me spinning. I find myself racing from one task to another playing catch up each day. Cooking, cleaning, washing, writing, it seems I will never get to the end of my long self-imposed list. “Hurry, hurry, faster, faster you’ll never get it all done!” Run, run.
Yet the rest that I long for, I find in the quiet of the morning sheltered in the word of God as he leads me beside the still waters of his love. Calming the turmoil, halting the winds and giving my soul the restful peace to keep moving forward in uncertain times. Whatever the day my hold, I know God’s rest is only a prayer away. He only asks me to live one day at a time for him, because he holds all my tomorrows.
Thank you for sharing your time with me, dear friend. Where do you find times of rest in the busyness of your daily life? I’d love to hear from you.
Lovingly Karan
Hi Karen, connecting with you for the first time from 5-MF. Love your post. I had some moments this week too, and often, when I felt like I’m racing against the clock, that there is never enough time for all the tasks. So thankful though for the REST we have in God and that place of refuge where we can steal way from it all.
Thank you Phyllis, for your kind words and visiting. What a joy to be able to connect, this is my second time at 5-MF. I am really enjoying it. Have a great week!
