Resting in God

            Lord, what does it mean for me to rest in you? It doesn't mean that I'm always passive, as though sleeping. Rather, I think it means that whether I'm busy or just quietly contemplating, I'm finding my comfort and hope in you. I don't necessarily have to be doing something for you. You bless your children with rest because they are your children. You are my father and because of this relationship I reap the harvest of peace and joy. I don't have to earn your perks, as though your goodness is based on my doing; rather I must be. As I learn to be in fellowship with you, I receive the overflow of your goodness.
