During the next 10 weeks or so some of you won't be here.
Many of you have already taken time for a trip, a reunion, or a special event.

More broadly speaking lots of us would like to get away from all the stuff going on in our world.

When we rest in God we are able to return again and again in the midst of our complicated lives and find continual rest for our weary souls.
In fact…
You are not really resting if you are not resting in God.
•Explain: So David gives us some great pointers for being at peace and finding rest.

• The real tragedy would be never resting, never receiving the blessing of waiting upon God.
I hope you have a great vacation.
More importantly I hope you find rest.

If you have not given Him Lordship over your life you may find the perfect vacation spot, but your heart will never be at rest.
