At the Cross

I said to myself, "Relax and rest.  God has showered you with blessings" - Psalm 116:7

As I was reading from my book, "Prayers with a Purpose", I ran across this Psalm.  Hindsight is 20/20 as they say, and as I reflect on my life, it is quite easy to see where each event was a stepping stone for God's blessings.  He was in control by placing me at the right place at the right time even when I thought there was no future in sight.  Through the highest peaks and through the lowest valley's, I was exactly where I needed to be.

Now during the lowest of the valley's it was impossible to see the blessings, and it was difficult to rest and relax. We are to sit at the foot of the cross.  We are not asked to climb the cross; however, how many times have we tried to "climb that cross"?  I know I've tried and tried, but right now even though I'm at a new place in my life - waiting on God due to a recent job loss, I am for the first time in my life simply relaxing and resting for I know this will lead to even more blessings.

Let us all Relax and Rest!
