My night was going to be restful — eat dinner, relax and turn in at a decent time. Most importantly, I was making my night free by skipping Bible Study. I called my friend Erin to let her know I was most likely not making the drive to Orange County for small group that night. She understood. But as I talked to her, I realized it wasn't rest I needed. It was Jesus.
Sometimes I want God to meet me in the place I am without doing any work. I want him to just keep reaching out to me. However, until I reach out to Him, my relationship will be hindered. God loves us more than we can imagine, however, until I reach out to Jesus, I will continue to seek rest as false hope. Resting in Jesus is the most strengthening rest we can achieve. Sometimes that is as simple as going to Bible Study when we'd rather stay at home.
