All in Peace
As Christians we are not immune to the high intensity 24x7 world we live in, but unlike those who are unbelievers, we have a very special relief from the sleeplessness, exhaustion, anxiety, and other negative repercussions of this amped up modern world. Our world is so expectant, and highly charged that it can harm our bodies and minds if we remain fully engaged in it, but Jesus promises us rest… are we taking advantage of it? Do we even know how?
When we are unsettled and troubled during our days, and unable to sleep at night due to tossing and turning, where do we go for comfort; to whom do we turn for resolution, and rest? Are we tormented by sin? Is our soul uneasy due to our separation from God? Does God’s Will escape us? Or, are we simply unable to find the root of our discomfort; being unaware of what causes us to feel this way? Whatever the reason, and whether day or night, our soul can be calmed, and satisfied through an exploration of God’s Word, our leaning upon it, and through the good news of Jesus Christ as we meditate upon His life, death, resurrection, and promised return.
