Witting the title in reverse order will incredibly put you in the opposite connotation, a phrase associated with an end of life. We must not wait till death puts us to rest before we can experience peace in rest. Often we are forced to rest or at least nudge ourselves to sleep while our minds still stay busy with things to do. We see ourselves actively engaged in a dream in an attempt to escape the world of busyness, not knowing that the pursuit of our goals and the accomplishment of them lies in God's hands, the creator.
To wake up early, and go late to sleep, what we all do can result in vain when done in anxiety. It is a peril if we do not engage God to help us do our daily chores and attend to things that keep us busy. When we substitute our daily bread with the bread of anxious toil, we will not have peace in rest. We can pretend to have peace, but God gives one that lasts. Our God can give peace in rest, only when you rest in Him." Psalm 127:2
In March, you must do beyond rest, seek peace in it. Let God put grace in your heart for meaningful rest, and let others be aware of the danger of not allowing God's peace in their attempt to rest. Guide your heart and fill it with God's peace.
Happy New Month!
