Rest-Five Minute Friday

 

 

 

 

Writing for 5 mintues straight-no editing, no stopping, ready, set, GO.

 

Rest.  Is there such thing?  I think it seems like there is no rest sometimes because there is something always to do.  The moment I think I can sit down and rest I can't even rest because I am thinking of what else to do or think about or figure out.  I wonder.  What real rest feels like.  Jesus says to rest in Him.  He is rest.  When I am resting in Him I still have to live.  I get confused sometimes how to rest and stay focused on Jesus and then still live and make decisions every day without messing up.  I guess I shouldn't worry about messing up so much.  I guess I need to rest my mind maybe.  My mind seems busy a lot just whirling around with ideas and to-do lists and projects and a lot of times my mind is thinking about what I need to "figure out." 

 

Really.  Rest.  There is no sense in trying to figure anything out.  Seek God.  Read His Word.  Keep Him in the middle of everything I am doing.  And live.  He will direct my paths.  There is rest in that isn't there?  I believe so.  I want to be in that place where I am living and letting God lead and drive and direct and I don't have to ever "figure out" anything else again.  Thank you Jesus for rest.
