Psalm 61-62
"My soul finds rest in God"
Rest is not high on our priority list as Americans. Of the 10 commandments, the one that we live as if it does not apply to us, is the one about keeping the Sabbath holy. The Sabbath is about resting in the presence of God. We live is if resting is a waste of time. Time that we could and should fill with all sorts of activities.
What if God intended us to rest so that we would have time to reflect upon life? Time to relish the joy and wonder of relationships. Time to give thanks for the abundance in which we live. What if that feeling that life is racing past us comes from never stopping to rest, reflect and remember? What if God asks us to rest because it is simply a better way to live?
