Rest for the Weary

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11: 28-30

I am ready for some soul rest. The past week has been soul-wearying. Even with Kiddo at camp, Momma was still in the hospital. She's here at home with me now, so we're both getting more physical rest, but I need the soul rest only the Savior can give.

This song by Kari Jobe never, ever ceases to bring peace to my soul, whether I'm listening to it or singing it. It comes straight from the Word. If you need some rest for your soul, or if you just want to usher in some peace, listen.

I long to...take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Psalm 61:4

I would hurry to my place of shelter,
far from the tempest and storm.
Psalm 55:8

He stilled the storm to a whisper...
They were glad when it grew calm.
Psalm 107:29-30

Father, thank you for your protection Friday.

Sunday morning

Aren't two sparrows sold for only a penny?

But your Father knows when any one of them falls to the ground.

Even the hairs on your head are counted.

So don't be afraid! You are worth much more than many sparrows.

Matthew 10: 29-31

Pray for the Gulf Coast today...

Sunday Morning

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD,

"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

plans to give you hope and a future.

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me,

and I will listen to you.

You will seek me and find me

when you seek me with all your heart.

I will be found by you," declares the LORD...

Jeremiah 29:11-14
