Can you rest? Or is your life all about performing…
““Can you rest? Or is your life all about performing, producing and providing? I wonder whether your picture of God might be shaping your work habits. Certainly God works. Indeed Christ’s mighty work of redemption cost Him immeasurable blood, sweat and tears. But the work was not the point. The work leads to rest. More specifically, His work leads to your rest. And today you’re invited to rest in Him: “Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him.” (Psalm 37:7)””
