Take Rest...

Well, good morning. This post is once again coming to you as I sit in my second office (Starbucks. See early post concerning my feelings about this blessed place). I don't have much wisdom or specific insight on anything particular this morning. I sat here for awhile trying to think of something clever to write that would make this post worth while reading, but alas nothing came.

Instead could I suggest to you to rest in God today. Cliche for certain, but no less true for each one of us. Because of my job I think I have a little better opportunity to put this into practice. Though even for me, if I'm not careful, life can zip by without relying or taking rest in God.

You may ask, "Matt, what does it mean to rest in God?" Where I would reply, "honestly only you know specifically what that means." Sure I can give you some pat answers like spend time in the Word, communicate with God and listen for his response, and get away, even if only for a couple minutes, from the distractions that get in the way of you and Christ. Now those are all valid answers and I do suggest doing them, but each of us have our own unique personalities and situations making the suggestions above look different in how we accomplish them.

You know yourself best and know what keeps you from resting in God. So, this week focus on eliminating those distractions as you rest in Him.
