Beautiful Word Devotional #70

You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.

2 Samuel 22:37

At certain times in our lives we simply cannot keep walking. In those times, we desperately need to experience the rest that God has for us. We need to, for instance, experience the lovingkindness he shows by broadening a path and protecting our ankles—two things necessary for walking well and walking long.

Are you worn out? Wearied by the rat race? Stressed beyond measure?

Then perhaps it’s time to slow down and ask God to both broaden your path and provide for you a time of rest. Make some time this week to be quiet and still. Then, when you have settled your mind and heart, ask God to adjust your perspective on your circumstances, to speak life where death reigns, and to encourage your weary soul.

God loves you. He wants to help you throughout your journey. And he never wearies of your prayers.

Lord, I desperately need a broad path and a day or two of deep, deep rest in you. I thank you in advance for taking care of me yet again, amen.
