Soft pillow

by Bruce Wadd  

 

Resting in God’s peace is like landing on a soft pillow. Ahhh!

 

It was raining outside. Things were looking dismal, not only on the outside, but also inside my gut.

 

I was worried about the community festival only two days away, and with so many things still needing attention, I was concerned. There were so many unanswered questions, and the inclement weather was the ‘last straw’.

 

It had been a real struggle to attract sponsors and unearthing volunteers had been almost impossible. So I spent time with God just pouring out my heart.

 

As I continued to pray, to let God have every part of my worry, peace burst into my spirit like a mandarin in the mouth. God’s Spirit merely confirmed that things were going to be fine - the weather was going to be beautiful, the people were going to be great, and finances would work out ‘in the black’!

 

What a wonderful confirmation! Joy and peace could again shine in my heart, and on my brow! It was breakthrough, and I could rest!

 

What are you struggling with in your life? Fight and struggle, in prayer, until you have breakthrough… it’s worth every sore knee!

 

“But all who humble themselves before the Lord shall be given every blessing, and shall have wonderful peace.” Psalms 37:11

 

TODAY, rest peacefully… on His pillow!
