Psalm 37:7A

"Rest in the LORD...." Psalm 37:7A

The picture comes tomind of me sitting in the biggest and cushiest bean bag ever to be imagined. God is that bean bag. He enfolds me in his softness. Keeps me afloat by the buoyancy of His nature. "Rest" it says. Relax! In my memories of chilling in my bean bag, I was a child and had narry a care in the world. Life is hectic and busy. We try to fit as much stuff (people, hobbies, work, etc.) as we can in the day. Life takes us for a ride. Relaxation is found (supposedly) in front of a TV. How often do we go old school? How often do we return to the days of the bean bag?

It should be at least once a day. More so if life is wearing you down. He wants to comfort us and recharge us, but He can't do it if we don't slow down-take a breath-and ease down into that bean bag. Life is not a NASCAR race. Slow down. Rest in the LORD. Relax with your Father. Have a one-on-one conversation with him. Get some QT, and I'm not talking bout the QuikTrip! He wants to hear how your day is going! Yes, I know that he already knows, but he wants you to stop and tell him about it. Commune with your Abba. I guarantee you it will make you feel fresher, recharged, and more loved than your TV, work, or anything else!!
