Unfinished Thought

I have a lot of things I should be doing besides blogging right now. I think I have some sort of problem; when I have too many things on my list of things to do, I end up not being able to concentrate on any of it and, instead, find my thoughts focusing on some random thought that, unless I finally delve into and try to make sense of, keeps me from getting anything else done. Hence why I find myself here again...

Probably due to the fact that I have so many things on my plate right now, I've been thinking a lot about when I will be able to sleep and whether or not I will be getting enough sleep to stay awake throughout the day. As I think about this sleep, I wonder about God's concept of rest and how I can partake of that. I'm starting to think that rest might not necessarily imply sleep... which is something I had always related it to in the past; like, if I can't get much sleep because of all my homework, I must not be experiencing God's rest - Woe is me! But... maybe rest isn't just about sleep. Maybe it's about a state of mind, or some emotional break. Maybe rest has to do with turning your worries over to God... Maybe you have a lot to do, but you don't have to worry that the work will overcome you. Instead, you can do your work in peace and calmness, knowing that God is in control and that He will never ever ever ever ever ever ever... leave you.

Maybe rest isn't about sleep at all. Maybe it's about trusting God in the midst of your busy schedule.

Just something to think about...

With that off my mind, maybe I can concentrate now... but this time, as I rest in His ultimate control.
