have you been resting?


i am a advocate for rest. i want to get 8 hours of sleep a night. i want to rest for 30 minutes everyday when i get home before i do anything. i love to soak in God's presence for 30 minutes a day, not only to hear God's voice. i want to relax and think about life. am i fulfilling my purpose? am i doing God's will or my will? am i pouring God's love into the hearts of all the people that i meet? am i spending time with God? am i taking care of my body? am i eating well - balanced meals? am i loving God with all my heart, mind and soul?
if you do not take time to rest daily each day, you will never learn the answers to these questions.
Psalm 37: 7a states Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;

during this Lenten season and each day of your life, i admonish you to Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for God.

Abba, my prayer each day is that i rest in You and i wait patiently for You as i rest. God i want live in the Peace that You provide. not my will God, Your will be done in my life. in Jesus' name, amen
