God is present in moments of rest and can give us in a single instant exactly what we need. Then the rest of the day can take its course, under the same and strain, perhaps, but in peace. And when night comes and you look back over the day and see how fragmentary everything has been, and how much you planned that has gone undone, and all the reasons you have to be embarrassed and ashamed; just take everything exactly as it is, put it in God's hands, and leave it with God. Then you will be able to rest in God - really rest - and start the next day as a new life.
Excellent advice but oh so difficult to follow. Often God will tell me to rest in God and all will be well.
ReplyDeleteReally good advice is never easy to follow or to accept.
