TRUE REST!

Ever sense you need this reminder within daily eyesight!

More than permission for a Saturday nap !?

All "busy-ness" and no Sabbath rest makes this blogger wiped-out, irritable, discouraged. Take your pick! Even all three!

Look to Him! Accept His gift. Do the math! Even if you're not very got at it....your body can tell you when to slow down your moronic pace

. 

So....today I took a Saturday nap. The Lord was good to me and gave rest to my soul as well as my body. (Psalm 116:7)

The One who is my rest replenished my strength allowing me to spend time with Him.

True REST from the One who is REST!

Rest : God-given

God's rest to His beloved is a gift. One just has to choose to accept it.

Do you ever feel such fatigue that you just want to "lie down in green pastures"...?(Psalm 23:2)

God provides green pastures of contentment and rest, refreshing and restoring the soul.

He even gives sleep to His beloved. (Psalm 127:2)

I think I'll let His fingers close my eyelids and take a nap. 

The "REST" of the story.....

11//6/13  The Disciplines of Rest....Solitude. Silence. Listening. Meditation, Simplicity.

A lesson taught by me 11/5/13.

Posting those notes, as planned, without everyone's individual email addresses, is beyond me technically-----at the moment.

But.....until I figure it out, this recording of the teaching is a clic away and I actually read the outline, definitions, etc. At least that way you can stop and write and rewind. Just click the link below....

until I figure out my tech glitch----called my mind---and then I'll provide the "rest of the story" of God's Gift of Rest.
