Resting

God was really smart when He created the earth. Can you imagine a world where all we ever do is work? What if there was never a time to stop and reflect on who we are, and who God is? In Psalm 43 we see God is the one who is our Deliverer. If we call out to God, and rely on Him, we can be at peace.

Does that mean we will not struggle? No, we may still have struggles. In fact, when we keep the sabbath, we are resting from the struggles as well. It is that time to refresh in the love of God. Part of resting is the focus we place on God. Just thinking about how He cares for us, meditating on His provision, and on His deliverance from evil doers in our life. These things refresh our souls.

Prayer
Father, thank You for the rest You provide for us. It is good to think about You, to meditate on Your works. Praise You for the rest You provide in our life! Thank You for watching over those we love. Thank You for having a whole plan for our lives. In Jesus name. Amen.
