My journey the past 33 years of following Jesus has been an adventure and one full of both adversity and blessings. There have been times that in prayer he has let me know something in response to me complaining such as the time when I was sick and dying and yelled at God, “there is no mercy” and his reply was, “then you show mercy.”
There have been many times he has led me to ministry which began with steps of faith not knowing where it was leading.
So this past Sunday morning the pastor read a passage from Matthew 11:
“All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
He read it three times having us keep our eyes closed. Before the third time he told us to ask the Holy Spirit to let us know a word. I was all set for it to be to go somewhere like maybe Poland this summer to help refugees.
What came to my mind? One Word- Rest. Rest? Say What? No adventure. Just rest. Cue the letdown music.
Funny thing. I slept nine hours Sunday night. I slept nine hours Monday night. I never sleep that much.
Just goes to show one never knows what to anticipate from God. 🙂
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
