Rest. What exactly is it? Well, according to one definition of Webster's Dictionary it means "peace of mind or spirit". So to be honest I can certainly testify that I have definitely not "rested" in these past few weeks. It almost feels like my mind is a pinball table, always shooting with different thoughts and what ifs.
My roommate finally challenged me on this and I realized that in my heart I was being a Martha instead of Mary (Luke 10: 38-42). I have forgotten to sit at Jesus' feet and know that my greatest joy and strength in life is to truly rest in His presence. So as the week has gone by I purchased a CD by Misty Edwards, and this song spoke right to my heart. He has everything already planned out for me and all I have to do is wait and rest in Him.
LIKE A RUSHING RIVER: MISTY EDWARDS
Like a rushing river am I
Like a raging torrent inside
I find that I'm full of knowing nothing
I find that I hunger for the fullness of Christ
Like a rushing river am I
Like a raging torrent inside
I find that I"m free-falling again
I'm letting go of the mountain view
Letting go, but what into?
I've been crucified with Christ
I've been crucified with Christ
I've been crucified with Christ
Yet not I, but one thing I know
You make all things beautiful
You make all things beautiful
You make all things beautiful
Just in time
Just in time
So into Your hands
Into Your hands I fall
Into Your hands
Into Your hands I fall
Into Your hands
So into Your hands I fall
On You I wait
On You I wait
On You I wait
All of my days
And on You I wait
On You I wait always
On You I wait
All of my days
All of my days
No one who waits on You will ever be ashamed
No one who waits will ever be disappointed
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
So calm down, my soul
Calm down and know
So calm down, my soul
Calm down and know
His yoke is easy
His burden is light
It simply costs everything
But it's not too mysterious
It's not for the wise in their own eyes
It's not for the mighty of the rich
But He has saved Himself for me
But He has saved Himself for me
So calm down, my soul
Just calm down and know
Just calm down, my soul
Just calm down and know
Like a rushing river am I
Like a raging torrent inside
I find that I'm full of knowing nothing
I find that I hunger for the fullness of Christ
Like a rushing river am I
Like a raging torrent inside
I find that I"m free-falling again
I'm letting go of the mountain view
Letting go, but what into?
I've been crucified with Christ
I've been crucified with Christ
I've been crucified with Christ
Yet not I, but one thing I know
You make all things beautiful
You make all things beautiful
You make all things beautiful
Just in time
Just in time
So into Your hands
Into Your hands I fall
Into Your hands
Into Your hands I fall
Into Your hands
So into Your hands I fall
On You I wait
On You I wait
On You I wait
All of my days
And on You I wait
On You I wait always
On You I wait
All of my days
All of my days
No one who waits on You will ever be ashamed
No one who waits will ever be disappointed
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
So calm down, my soul
Calm down and know
So calm down, my soul
Calm down and know
His yoke is easy
His burden is light
It simply costs everything
But it's not too mysterious
It's not for the wise in their own eyes
It's not for the mighty of the rich
But He has saved Himself for me
But He has saved Himself for me
So calm down, my soul
Just calm down and know
Just calm down, my soul
Just calm down and know
