The Lord your God is giving you a place of rest. Joshua 1:13

I don’t know about you, but I feel that I don’t always get the rest I need. I can be so busy with life, that I feel like I don’t have time to rest properly. The everyday life of routine is stealing the time and energy that I can spend on resting, refreshing and receiving.

Reading about Joshua in the bible is really inspiring. He was a man that took the baton after Moses and was called to lead the Israelites into the promised land. I can guess that much of Joshua’s time probably included to plan, strategies for the crossing over Jordan and just thinking and concerning about the people he was leading. He was a man of great capacity, but at the same time, he had to be reminded of being STRONG and COURAGEOUS as the first and second chapter tells us. And I bet that Joshua could have easily been caught up in what he needed to do and he had lots of people in his life that could take up his time. YET, he took the time to listen to God and entering that place of rest and peace that God had for him.

It is very much a choice to enter the place of rest. The bible teaches a lot about that place of rest that we can enter. It is a place where we can receive from God, be open hearted to Him, refresh our soul and perpectives in the midst of busy life and rest in God’s grace for our lives.
