When the world clamours for a piece of us,
God demands us to keep a quiet interior.
We are faced with a choice; a life of constant outpour, or one that values inner rest.
Have you heard of the One thing? The ‘better part’ , the eternally good part, the part that can never be taken away from us.
When the responsibilities of living rob our attention,
And our minds are drawn to the next call of duty
The Master calls us with His gentle yet insistent voice:
“Sit at My feet. Worship before you work…”
This is productive worship,
Where our worship merges with our work,
Our career with our call, and faith replacing fear…
When the worries of getting things not done overwhelm us,
Jesus beckons us to take a holy pause
Listen the wind moving,
The leaves rustling,
Feel the soft grass underneath your feet,
And touch the gentleness of His Hand
He took the nails in our place
And then cup our world in His palm.
When the world jeers at our pause
And the busy keeps going and the fast keeps moving,
Sit on Jesus’ lap,
Let Him take away your cares, sweep away your chaos.
Don’t hurry,
Don’t scurry.
Just rest and worship
In Him you will find new strength.
