We are in the middle of an exciting and busy couple of weeks. Weeks where things that are good have potential to become distractions that divert our eyes from Jesus and His mission.
My prayer for myself, and my husband, and our children is that we would rest. That there would be physical rest in the midst of a hectic schedule, and that we would rest in the promises of our heavenly Father.
As my [almost] three year old loves to remind us at bedtime, "Mama, guess who doesn't sleep!?" And then she whispers in a tone of awe, "God." A simple truth we shared with her one night when the darkness was closing in and restless dreams were making empty threats. Desperate for sleep ourselves, we shared an attribute of our protector not knowing that it would have such an impact.
He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand.
Psalm 121:3-5
As the days get busy and we are moving from one event to the next and I'm worrying about being late or what we will wear or who will show up, may the Lord remind us to rest in His goodness and faithfulness. To rest, because He doesn't.
