Psalm 116:7

Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.


In the midst of a busy week, I woke up this morning thinking of what I have to do today, and almost ran off to start doing more things. But I remembered our conversation at Jubilee Fellows last night, and about prayer and going to the Bible before email. It was actually the glow of the sunrise that reminded me. I thought I wanted to read Psalm 116 for a different passage, but it was the wrong one, but it turned out to be right for me after all. As I read through it, comforted, it was verse 7 that really did it for me: Be at rest once more, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.

It's His world. We're not required to do more than we can do. So take a deep breath, play your part and take care of your responsibilities, and rest again at the end of the day.


May all your souls be at rest today.

Bets
