Ps139 – Dynamic rest.


"You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am." Ps 139:3

Tomorrow is a mystery to us. We may have our plans, but plans change, fall apart or are forgotten. It is once again a strengthening thought to realise [and know] that we walk hand in hand with God who knows our path.

“We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.” Prov 16:9

Depending on our attitude we either do nothing with our lives or head towards a burnout, but God not only directs us he says, 'Here, stop a while. Let’s just enjoy each some time together. You and me. Do you want to hear the song that I wrote for you this morning? It will strengthen and delight you.'
We are no longer a ‘lost people’, even when we haven't a clue what is going on (or where we are). Every moment God knows where we are. Often our biggest fear is being separated from those we love, not being able to find them (perhaps it is a fear left over from childhood) but we never need to fear this when holding God's hand. When we walk with God we say good bye to crazy, unorganised and exhausting lifestyles. When God is with us He not only directs us but reminds us to rest because He knows that we are not yet in our heavenly bodies that will never tire or wear out.
