  • Rest in his presence

    When God enters into a space, He gives meaning and purpose to that space.  The result?  That though I had felt so tired and exhausted, His purpose-infusing presence gives me a new kind of energy.  So when I am tired from parenting and don't think I have enough energy to take time out to be with Him, I must remember that it is then that I all-the-more need to do it because He will give me an energy and strength that I'm missing.  There is a kind of rest in His presence that is so different from any physical kind of rest.  It's a different kind of peace.  He really does cause me to "soar on wings like eagles" (Is 40:11).
