Rest

The fear of man makes it difficult to leave the crowd and go up the mountain to pray, as the fear of man prefers busyness over priorities. - Bill Johnson


Last night I was dreaming and in my dream I had so much to do. I was wearing myself out trying to get it done and still just couldn't do it all. I missed an appointment and didn't have time to eat lunch. Needless to say, I did not feel rested when I awoke. I felt like I had been working all night.
 
I've been thinking a lot about the need to abide in the "secret place" of God and rest. I believe it's the only way to survive. When the craziness of life hits and I don't know which way is up, still I can come back to that quiet place and rest, knowing that God holds it all in His hands.
