I have been reading through the Bible this year - I'm in Judges now - and I have been struck by the number of times the Lord instructed His people to rest in the first few books of the Bible. And the more I read about the necessity of resting, the more keenly aware I am of how much I crave true rest. I'm not talking about sleep here - although I certainly need more sleep than I've been getting lately - it's spiritual rest that I need.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28-29). I've got a lot yet to learn from Jesus about finding rest for my soul.
Who am I?
