Monday Meditation

This week, I had all matter of things on my to do list.  This is a very busy ministry week at my church and I've been sidelined.  I feel awful that other people are having to step in and cover for me.  All because my body caught some infection.  But guess what?  God knew and I need to rest in that. 

[Pro 16:9 ESV] 9 The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.

[Pro 19:21 ESV] 21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.

Sometimes we get busy and we place more emphasis on our to do list then we do on our God.  And He decides to "make us" slow down.

[Mat 11:28-29 ESV] 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

I think there are several lessons I needed to learn and by slowing me down, I've been able to hear Him loud and clear.
