Taking Time, Finding Rest

The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."...Exodus 33:14

Lord, our lives get so busy,

We lose sight of what is true.

Productivity become our idol

Always seeking more to do.

It's a trap we all fall into,

Thinking more is always best.

Relaxing seems a waste of time

And it's laziness to rest.

The world keeps moving faster.

We try hard to keep the pace.

Feeling worthless when we're tired;

And need a break from life's cruel race.

Lord, You never called it lazy

Taking time to spend with You.

It's in those quiet moments

That Your presence can shine through.

Let us just remember

As we go about our days

In His presence rest is given

When we follow in His ways.
