When was the last time you unplugged from your regular life and took refuge in the rhythms and rest of God? I highly recommend it.

It isn't always easy to find ways to do this, but the effort is absolutely worth it.

Some weeks are just filled to the brim. I’m sure you know that feeling where there is more “to do” than there feels there is time, where there are so many plates spinning it is hard to remember which one needs attention next.

For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” But you were unwilling.

Isaiah 30:15 (ESV)
 

“Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the water; and you without silver, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without silver and without cost!"  

Isaiah 55:1 (CSB)

My mom was the youngest of four girls. Her oldest sister, who was two decades older than my mom, was a tiny little Southern spitfire. My aunt had something to say about everything under the sun. If she was shocked or surprised by something, she would loudly proclaim, “Well, I declare!”

Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.

Psalm 9:11 (NKJV)
