"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." Psalm 139.14

Finding rest in Him.

"Jesus said: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28-29).

Find rest in me, Jesus says. But, I haven't been. From morning 'til night, my day is packed. A busybody, I am. The only time I really give to God is the time I spend with him in my car (on my way to work, on my way home...always, on my way somewhere). He gets stuck with my leftovers. 

So, my goal this week is to give Him my first. Instead of driving to someone's house to play Monopoly Deal, my challenge is to spend genuine time with Him. Just Him. No distractions. It's sad that the simple act of spending time with Him is a challenge.


So, find rest in Him. It'll be on repeat in my head.
