Rest

First of all, I am terribly sorry for the lateness of this post! It completely slipped my mind...better late than never???

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

Oftentimes I feel like the world will stop spinning if I'm not doing something. The hard-cold truth is that it won't.

I have a very difficult time just resting. I worry so much about the next step that I rarely let God take care of it for me. Not long ago I was at my wits end because I didn't have a plan for my life 2 years from now! (If you know me, you know that I am not exaggerating one bit!) So, obviously, the issue of not resting in the Lord shows up in many areas of my life. More often than I'd like to admit, when I feel weary and burdened I look for an equation to fix it, instead of looking to the truth of God's word. The passages that follow this memory scripture speak of God's passion for us to be 100% dependent on Him. So, I guess there's no need to work out the equation, the answer is already there for us. Throw any variable in the equation and it always works out that we are to be 100% dependent on God. He works out the details. When I stop and meditate on how simple that concept is, I am overwhelmed by our Savior....and I realize how silly I am not for not doing it more often!

I hope you find time to rest in Him this week.

Love in Christ,
Tosha
