Where are you located?
For me it is at the ocean. Watching the tide go in and out is like having my cares washed out to sea. The world can wait while my soul is restored.
Rest During a Storm
After a day ministering to others, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples,then made his way to the back where he laid his head on a pillow and fell asleep. As the boat makes its way toward the next shore, a storm hits. The boat rocks violently and starts to capsize. The disciples wake Jesus shouting. "We're drowning!"
Jesus sits up and tells the storm to stop and it does..
Mark 4:35-41
A Peaceful Island
At the time of this writing, my husband Jim and I are on vacation. The beauty of creation is around us as we walk along the ocean. It's low tide. We head for the cove. With the tide rolled out the danger of a rip current is gone, leaving a once treacherous cove free to pass and a peaceful island within reach. My soul is at rest.
As this time away comes to a close, my goal is to create daily vacations. A time each day to envision the cares and worries of everyday life, rolling out with the tide and freeing me to cross over to a place of peace - a daily restoring of my soul.
My prayer for you, my friend, is that you will find Peace!
