Tuesday’s Musings: Rest and Rejoice


Psalm 118:24  This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us be full of joy and be glad in it.

We used to have a saying, “The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get.”  I get up early and stay up late and still have a list of things I feel I should have done. Of course if I did all of those things, there would just be more to take their place.  My “In” basket is never empty. Maybe that’s not a bad thing.  If our “in” basket is empty perhaps it’s because no one needs us anymore.  There’s really not much on our “to do” list that can’t wait. Yet I’ve seen people who seemed to live their lives in emergency mode.  It’s good for us to have balance between work and rest.  God wants us to seek that balance because it’s difficult to fully experience the joy God offer us when we are going at full speed.  Instead of always focusing on our To Do list, let’s find some time to stop each day and enjoy the day that the Lord has made.

Creator God, thank you for this day which You have made.  Please help us to find joy in it.  We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
In Christ,
Paige
