What is Rest?

By |Published On: April 22, 2019|Categories: 1-Minute Radio Program|

A lot of people think I’m always on the go in my wheelchair…And they’re right. Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and even though I am “on-the-go,” I move forward knowing I go with God’s presence. And that’s what gives me rest (no matter how on-the-go I am). God says in Exodus chapter 33, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” What does this godly rest look like? One author put it this way: to rest is to “hide your face in the hem of [God’s] garment and let him lay his cooling, soothing, healing hands upon your soul, to draw out the hurry and fever from your veins; it is to realize you are not a mighty messenger, or an important worker full of responsibility, but only a little child, with a Father’s gentle bidding to fulfill.” I love that.

So today, no matter how busy you are, know that God’s presence is with you and he will give you rest.
