Be Still
Psalm 46:10 10 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Last week end I went camping with the guys from my church and I realized on my trip that life brings about interesting rotations. I am now of the age and mindset that I really don’t mind sitting and talking or just being still for the majority of a 4 day period, but with a 10 month old (and 7 nieces and nephews) I realize the irony of it. Those moments are fleeting because kids just don’t like to be still. I feel like its so much easier to think and rest when your being still and I rarely do I do it if ever. I usually find myself being still in front of a TV or with headphones in numbing out, but I...
Tired of the Brokeness
I find the world to be quickly overwhelming for me. Disease, death, deceit, and destruction, it’s hard to look on the curse and get a small glimpse of its scope. It’s exhausting. What can we do? How can we remain aware of it and yet feel strengthened and encouraged? How can we deal with a world that is crumbling around us?
Tired
I’m tired. This past week I’ve been putting myself under a lot of unnecessary stress. It’s like littlest problems become huge monsters ready to eat me alive. Anxiety disorder will do that to you. But I’m sick of it all. I’m tired of struggling with my demons. I’m tired of living in a world full of trouble and turmoil. I’m tired of all this fear and loathing. I’m tired and I want to go to bed. It’s times like these when I think about Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest.” What does this rest look and feel like? Sometimes I naively think it means God will take away all trials and pressures out of my life, but that’s...
Sabbath Rest
Yes, yes you can call me a horrible Christian later, but I so easily forget about resting on the Sabbath. I don’t put much weight on it, but God does. So much so its in his top 10 things I should and shouldn’t do. So if this is so important to Him why is it so unimportant to me?
I Need Rest
- Rest from work. - Rest from numbing. - Rest from the turmoil that can be in relationships. - Rest from uncertainty. - Rest from certainty. - Rest from sin. - Rest from myself. I just wish I could be quiet and rest in the arms in Christ. What do you need rest from?
Returning Soon.
