REST IN THE STILLNESS of My Presence while I prepare you for this day.

Rest, what's rest?

In life it seems we are trained to not have idle moments with nothing going on. If you do (gasp), quickly fill them with something to kill the time! Even when I think I'm resting I've still got all these imaginary balls in the air that I'm juggling and thinking about. God desires me to stop juggling and rest in His Presence. His Presence is a gift that He freely gives us.

The devotion caught my attention when it stated, "There is both a passive and an active side to trusting Me."

I had never put much thought into it being that complex but it completely makes sense. We are passive as we just rest and soak in His goodness and glory. We are active when we respond to our lives circumstances with complete trust towards God. Things that make you go hmmmm.

Praise you Jesus for NO CONDEMNATION! When I fail again at remembering to take shelter in You and find rest when I'm weary, thank you for not condemning me. Or for that matter all the things I fail to remember.
