"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
This was the verse painted on the wall behind the pulpit at the church we went to yesterday. And I realized something:
Perhaps the reason I'm so exhausted and overwhelmed lately is that I'm not resting in the Lord. I'm worrying over things that are totally and completely out of my hands, stressing over things that are out of my control. I'm holding on to my worries and concerns instead of turning them over to God.
Worrying is forbidden (Philippians 4:6). It is useless, a colossal waste of time. Rest is a divine gift. But why aren't we accepting it?
"Wait for the Lord; be strong, take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:1
