Looking at the pages of my calendar for the upcoming week
there appeared to be scarcely little opportunity for quiet, rest, and dedicated
time with the Lord. Just coming out of the holiday season, and the busyness
that entails, and the pressing responsibilities looming on the very close
horizon, I long for just a little time to reconnect with the Lord—to dig deep
into His Presence for refreshment and an anchoring of my soul. Well, God in His
goodness has intervened and opened my schedule, though not in a way I would
have chosen. It seems I have succumbed to a bad cold, and have had to cancel
and reschedule the very things that crowded my calendar. A cold is not usually
considered a good thing, but if I let it, it can be used for a very good
purpose—a permission slip to be excused from busyness, to sit in quiet,
mandated rest with my Savior. As He goes to work healing my body, He is also at
work revitalizing my soul.
