Sabbath Rest

I've often said I don't regard these outreach WL sessions as proper work, in fact they've started to become part of the healing process.  Worship was fab today, I knew it was going to be OK from the first chorus.  I need to start remembering to worship myself, and trust God to be in control of the rest.

It was great to be free today, and as good as the morning was, feeling "happy exhausted" at the end of it (so a good day at the office), I came home slightly sorry that it was over....but....I then thought...

...glory be.  I don't have to worry about this again for at least another week.  I am free of that for a while.  God, as far as I'm concerned, can take His time over paving the way for me.  It isn't laziness, for I will happily take up the sword when He needs me to - no, it is finally being happy in my lot, a burden lifted, a responsibility removed for a while, I have entered a wilderness of sorts, yes, but a beautiful one, a rest.  I decided to try and have meandGod time during the periods I would normally have been with the group, or on my own, practicing or chorusstorming.

Maybe He'll point the way during those times.

Although I don't want to be impatient, someone told me today to make sure I find where God wants me quickly else the blessings I can give with my anointing will be wasted.  It was encouraging, and thinking of it, extremely sobering.

I am, after all, a foot soldier, and it ain't no good to be on furlough for too long.

  1. Nothing is wasted if you are exactly where God would have you be. And never be concerned about your anointing... His gifts are permanent!
