I woke up this morning with Audrey Assad’s song, Restless playing as my alarm clock. As I went about my day the song lyrics kept replaying in my head.
Today, I was reminded of how important it is to rest. I had many plans for myself today. As I looked ahead on my day, I could not help but be so exhausted. I just wanted to rest and spend time with the Lord.
I did only one out of all that I had planned. As I reflected on how I failed to do all of my plans today, I realized that it was not such a bad thing. Rest is good! The Lord revealed to me that, in order to really internalize and recollect all of the recent happenings, I had needed to take some time for myself. Not just by myself but, with Him most especially.
The mission to love definitely does not stop, but it also does not mean that we cannot take a rest once in a while.
Today was a simple day. I rested with the Lord and reflected on all of the beautiful and wonderful things He has done for me.
Lord, thank you for the simple ways in which You continue to show Your love for me.
God is good!
