Vincent Van Gogh's "Noon: Rest From Work" (After Millet)

"My soul finds rest in God alone
My salvation comes from Him..."
~Psalm 62:1
Rest does not "just happen" - our souls need to "find" it - that seems to indicate that it takes some unhurried and intentional effort to put ourselves in a place where true rest can open our heart, mind, soul, emotion and body to God's loving care. What we find is what we're longing for - our "at-home-ness" with ourselves in God's presence.
- How have you encountered God in the midst of restful moments this past week?
- What keeps you from rest?
- What do you need some "salvation" from -
How is God inviting you to find rest in Him this week?
- From being overcommitted?
- From being over loaded with junky foods?
- From not getting enough sleep?
- From compulsions that make you feel guilty if you care for yourself...?
- Financial difficulties from overspending?
How does that make you feel?
How do you want to intentionally respond?
