Rest
Matthew 11: 28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
1 Peter 5: 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
My constant question is how? It isn't something that can be done cognitively. It is resting in Him that comes from the heart and faith. To process mentally how this happens will never work. So when I am stressed or confused or misdirected, tired or desperate there is only one thing for me to do. Go to His Word, pray and find myself in His arms, that love, that light that only He can give. I rest and listen and let Him direct me. There isn't a better place for me to spend my day, working or not working. We have a choice to walk in this 'rest' with Him, moment by moment.
