My Resting Place....

So once again, I found myself here at such an early hour. I don't know..I just wanted to write of the Lord's provision in my life. This has been such an incredibly hard week for me. I think i've gotten about maybe ten hours of sleep in the last 4 days..that could be pushing it. Yet, once again, something that seemed impossible to me to begin with, is now, after much toil, completed. I think it's amazing how God allows me to experience joy even in the midst of stress, exhaustion, and everything else that seems to consume the day. I'm learning that the key to this is continually resting in Him....throughout the day, when i can't rest physically, God is helping me to rest mentally, spiritually..in Him. I'm a so comforted that God yearns for me to give Him my load, my burdens, so that He can carry it and not just me. I was reminded of such an amazing passage of scripture today. It's in Eph. ch. 3 v.14-21. It so cool that Paul starts this passage with "....I kneel before the Father." (My daily prayer is that my heart would be kneeling before the Lord, when I'm not physically able to.) It continues with "I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being." If I could testify to one thing this past week, it would be that God has strengthened me in times when I had no clue how i'm going to get through. He is faithful...
I think it is safe to say that our soul's true Resing Place is in the heart of the Lord...oh how beautiful that HEART is....and I'm finding that when I am resting in the True REsting Place...my soul is nourished...and I am able to LIVE in joy. Help me to rest in you Lord tonight...Thank you for your loving Faithfulness to me. Help me to rest in you...
"Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy burderned and I will give you rest. Take
my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burdern is Light."
Matthew 11:28-30
