It’s a little after 8pm and I’m already in bed. I’m wiped out, in a good way; Blake’s final soccer season, our church’s college ministry, our ministry on campus at the local community college (I got to speak last night), and of course a full time job that I am extremely thankful for – this is a busy time.
I’ve always had a healthy sense of guilt. Unhealthy, actually. But I’m learning the spiritual value of setting aside time to do absolutely nothing, on those rare evenings or weekends when I have nothing planned. And to not feel guilty for it, but rather to allow myself to be blessed by it. God is so good.
Selah.
Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
– Psalm 116:7 ESV
