There was an audible sigh as I drew the curtains this
morning to see a second day of uninterrupted blue sky. Although a breeze plays
in the leaves of the trees, there is no driving wind or edge of incipient rain.
The day feels settled.
Here on an island the weather is capricious, restless as the
waves that batter the coasts. It can be tiring, even emotionally, to live in
constant change. So nice to feel the contentment of a settled day.
Jesus invites us to come to him and rest. In him is peace. The
Father promised Joshua that he would never leave him nor forsake him. In God is
rest. Whatever the weather, whatever the family turmoil, whatever the political
upheavals, whatever the doctor’s diagnosis, in God is rest.
