Rest in Me

I was able to go out to the lake yesterday for a few hours. Alone! A rare treat that doesn't ever really happen. Chuck was working. The boys are still in school. Natalie is spending the week in Georgia. So it was just me. At first I thought I might get lonely but something nudged me to go ahead. And I'm thankful I did. In so many ways, our life is crazy and unpredictable. Questions are unanswered and sometimes worry creeps its way into my heart... But the Lord had something to say to me and I'm glad I was listening:

Rest in Me, my child. Give your mind a break from planning and trying to anticipate what will happen. Pray continually, asking My Spirit to take charge of the details of this day. Remember that you are on a journey with Me. When you try to peer into the future and plan for every possibility, you ignore your constant Companion who sustains you moment by moment. As you gaze anxiously into the distance, you don't even feel the strong grip of My hand holding yours. How foolish you are, My child! 
Remembrance of Me is a daily discipline. Never lose sight of My Presence with you. This will keep you resting in Me all day, every day.


1 Thessalonians 5:17; Psalm 62:5
