Itch relief

by Bruce Wadd   

 

It has probably happened to you too!  The other day I was at a meeting when I became aware of an itch that was growing in intensity.  From a very small beginning, this annoyance magnified to a point where it was screaming for attention.  Nothing was going to stand in the way of this irritation getting some attention.

 

Because I was facilitating a meeting, and most eyes were fixed on me, excusing myself was not an option…and scratching myself was definitely out of the question!!

 

At the first opportunity I excused myself and went to the bathroom.  The joy and relief of being able to scratch in total freedom is embarrassing to describe - it was splendid!

 

God, too, wants the pleasure of bringing ‘itch’ relief to your life, to be able to rest in Him through whatever circumstance you are facing.  He wants to shower you with experience, blessing, wisdom and maturity!

 

The question is, are willing to follow Him?

 

“Come to me and I will give you rest –
all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yoke…
and you will find rest for your souls;”
Matthew 11:28,30

 

TODAY, scratch…for greater relief in God!
