Rest

So I just got up from a glorious Sunday afternoon nap. I hardly ever nap...come on...I have seven kids, remember! Once and a while I will get in a quick cat nap for ten to fifteen minutes and I will bribe one of my kids to give me a backscratch to go along with it. There's almost nothing better then a fall asleep backie :) So anyway...as I rolled over and saw my son awake in his crib the thought came to me about rest. Just like I hardly ever rest my physical body, I find even less rest in my spiritual body. What a shame. We are called to rest in the Lord. Sit back and watch and wait for Him to do what He does. Sit back and know He has everything under control, for goodness sake, He has the Universe under control doesn't He? Why do we worry and fret about things to come? About everything under the sun? Why don't we just give our entire lives over to Jesus and sit back and relax? That's what He wants us to do and that is what He desires for us to do. Just take a big deep breath and rest. Hand over everything that is ours...our kids, our marriages, our friendships, our churches, our womens groups, all that we possess and let Him be the faithful God that He is.
