Ch. 679 - Obey and Rest

"Rest in My peace."

... Easier said than done.

I didn't want to.
So I walked away.
Too much work on my plate.

"Rest in My peace."

I didn't want to.
So I picked up the pace.
Too many thoughts on my mind.

"Rest in My peace."

I didn't want to.
So I started to run.
Too much weight on my shoulders.

You know what?
It can be quite difficult to run when you feel like you've got the world on your shoulders.

"Rest. Be with me."

So I stopped.
How could I not?

I turned my gaze to the throne of God.
Heart.
Mind.
Spirit.

Adoration.

He freely offers so much.
Step up to His table.

Presence.
Absolute immersion.

......

"My soul sings, my soul sings, my soul sings how I love You."

"Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art."

......

Inexpressible desires. Needs. Hurts. Prayers.
True freedom.
Given through the worshiping of His Spirit by my own.

He is praiseworthy.

GLORY.

Love Him.
Listen to Him.
Obey Him.

"Rest in My peace."

Refreshed.


'Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.'
[Psalm 139:7,9-10,23-24]
