Rest. That elusive
state of being that women seem to have a hard time finding. And it even seems that we often relish the
fact that we’re so busy, because it somehow makes us feel important.
God created the world and all that is in it, and then he
rested. And in this verse, we are
reminded again to rest one out of the seven days of a week.
But notice it says to rest even during the “plowing
season and harvest.” That’s the time of
year when farmers work hard, from sun up to sun down.
The seasons are about to change again to the wonderful autumn…the
time of year that Thanksgiving and Christmas frenzy begins. Perhaps this is the time of year that many
moms see as their busiest time of the year, trying to handle relatives who visit,
food preparation, gift buying, and family juggling, on top of their normal
daily routines of to-do lists that grow longer and longer.
Ask the Lord to show you how to rest even during the busy
season. Find that shade tree under which
to sit and read, the comfy pillow where you can lay down your head and close
your eyes, or the cup of tea that soothes your sore throat and soul.
Rest.
