Mayhave Monday: What if the true truths DID collide?

I may or may not constantly battle against the busyness bug. [I really do love alliteration. I can't help it.] If I find myself sitting with a cup of tea and no task at hand, I feel guilty. And lazy. And not good enough. Somehow I feel like The Hunk and I should fill our weekends with fun for Miss Magnificent - so that she's appropriately stimulated and exposed to God's world. But maybe, just maybe, taking a family bike ride is the most stimulation she needs.  Maybe it's the best stimulation we can offer her.  And maybe togetherness in silence over lunch is enough. It's not time wasted. I may or may not have thought of it as time wasted until The Hunk said, "I'm just enjoying being here with you."

I know that God is reminding me of the importance of stillness. Of rest. Of down time. It keeps popping up - all around - in the seemingly unconnected. Twice I was led to the Ten Commandments last week. Take a look-see at the one about the Sabbath. God devoted a lot of words - a lengthy explanation - to His "observe the Sabbath" rule. Maybe it's because He knew we would struggle against rest. Some of 'em are pretty cut and dry. Pretty obvious because, well, to disobey them goes against humanity. Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not commit adultery [although that one, sadly, is getting rather muddied]. But observe the Sabbath. Take an entire day to rest. Do nothing. Prepare your food. That is all. Does anyone actually do that anymore?? I want to. He also says to keep it holy.  So, I don't think that resting means finding another stationary way to distract our minds. To enter another reality. I think it means stopping physically and resting in Jesus spiritually.

Be still and know.

Go to Jesus for rest.

What does God desire my modern day Sabbath to look like, I wonder? What does He desire yours to look like?

You can rest. You can rest for a whole day if you want. You should rest for a whole day, apparently. Maybe we would be better, bolder, more peaceful people if we took time to let the Holy Spirit grab hold of the hands of our thoughts and tumble, roll, and wrestle with them through the fields of our reality.

 Maybe the true truths WOULD collide and it would be good.

Maybe.

Keep on keepin' it down and dirty. Love y'all like crazy!
