Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1 NIV
It's Friday night and I've enjoyed dinner and a movie at home with my family. It's been a long week. After about 6 weeks learning my new job and slowly getting accustomed to the work, this week got really busy. It's a good busy and I don't mind hard work and lots of it. I'll come home and work hard too, teaching and taking classes, preparing dinner, cleaning up and taking care of our household. We all have a lot on our plates. Some have more than one job or take care of multiple family units. We live in a very busy culture and a little hard work never hurt anyone.
But we also need rest. Our bodies are not made to function without it. Even God rested after spending six days creating the world. I'd call that a well deserved rest day. In order to find the rest we need and to be able to rest fully and completely, we must have the peace that only God can give. If we rest in him we need not worry about politics, nature events, financial crashes, or forgetting to respond to that email. God is above it all and so we can find the peace we need to rest.
So let the world rage on. God is in control. It's time for a nap.
