Rest
I found my space this evening while riding down the freeway. I felt the Lord speaking peace to me.
Who’s driving? You are Lord.
Stephen, Mosaic’s Pastor, spoke about giving on Sunday. Yet I don’t think it was about giving at all. It was about trust. Do I trust the Lord? With my whole being I want to say YES but honestly sometimes it’s no.
I come from a family of women who believe that every job is their job. It’s fine to let the Lord drive but we’ll get the map, gas, flat tires, and anything needed along the way. It’s no wonder that right in the middle of traveling I’m overwhelmed, afraid, and eventually crying out.
Funny because I imagine the Lord asking me why am I up and watching anyway.  I should be sleeping. It’s an odd thing that we have a King who desires our rest. Who knows the heart of this Lord? Christ the calmer of winds and waves.
I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah. –Psalms 61:4

As we were preparing for that talk I was also struck with the idea of TRUST. It really does boil down to that doesn’t it? Do I trust the God of Matthew 6 or don’t I? Will He provide for all my needs (and many of my desires and wants) as I love and serve Him?
This is a great insight Tamar. Thanks for sharing.
