The Quiet Before the Storm

August...the last lovely lazy days before rally day. Start up. The march towards Advent. Not many people are around to have proper meetings. Sunday Schools operate on abbreviated schedules. Pastors are found soaking up new inspiration by streams, lakes, and cities other than their own residence.

So Jesus rested. Soaked it in. Renewed. Refreshed. Let God seep into his life like indirect sunlight.

Oh my... did you just argue with my theology? Did you take a moment and flip to some place of definition with regards to trinitarian schema and forget the picture of Jesus resting?

Hang with the picture. Linger in imitation of Christ the resting. Christ the renewed. Christ the just sitting one. Jesus the silent. Jesus the gazing.

Perhaps our greatest challenge is dropping the intentional focus and just being at rest.

Share where you are resting.

Love

Deborah
