Hello my lovelies and welcome to An Inquisitive Mind - Illumination through Christ.
I am privileged to be living in answered prayers regarding the community I am surrounded by. Alongside, being able to see the fruits of the things I joined my faith in prayer for others coming to fruition.
It’s funny how God speaks to us… because as I was coming back from a work trip my taxi driver mid conversation shared I would be his last customer for the day. I looked at the clock, saw it was peak time on a Friday afternoon and He explained he made up his mind. This being as his body needed rest due to overworking himself the night before.
I know it may seem like a so what? What’s your point ? but his comment encouraged me - and I made sure to tell him. This being because in this day and age it isn’t the norm - as everyone appears to be on ‘go’ mode. Neither is it easy to recognise where we need to slow down, let alone follow through with making the changes to actually ‘rest’.
I surely can’t be the only one?
In 1 Kings 19, we see Elijah having received a threat which led him to become panicked and his thoughts spiralled out of control. Whereas, God knew exactly what He needed and provided for Him. This wasn’t a one off but however many times he needed it for the journey ahead.
I’m being reminded in this season that God is a good father, who gives us good things. So, I need not struggle or strive for He gives us just what we need, when we need it and is able to meet us where we are at.
As His children, we belong to Him and He loves us just as we are. We can trust that he will use it all to bring glory to Him but there needs to be a surrender. This is where we can receive true rest(oration).
Let’s pray:
Father Lord, I thank you because you are my hiding place in which I can seek refuge in. Please help open my eyes to see the things which may be distracting me from true rest in you, so that I can receive total restoration. I ask that you will also please help me instil greater boundaries with my; time, resources and money. This being so that I do not live by societies expectations of me, above your own and/or get caught up in a cycle of restlessness. Amen🙏🏾
