Today, pain immobilized me.
I succumbed to a rib muscular strain that I’d been withstanding for weeks. Thinking it would go away, I pushed through, making little change to my exercise or work routine, pummeling my way through a busy schedule until…
It paralyzed me.
This morning, I couldn’t walk properly. Breathing hurt. I could barely hold a cup in my left hand.
It was then that I realized what God had been speaking loud and clear to me all this while— that while He fills our lives with good things, He wants us to take time away from it all to spend unapologetic time in REST with Him, and indulge in the extravagant wastefulness of play, being in His presence.
With every breath causing me pain, I had to be acutely in tune of my every moment and movement with Him.
This weekend, as you go about your last Chinese New Year weekend with final celebrations, would you commit to making time, space and room to spend time with the important Guest of all?
