Yesterday, was incredible.
I got more done than I did all the previous week!
This morning, I knew.
The Lord’s gentle voice.
Today, rest.
It was exactly what I needed to hear.
As I sat at the dining table this morning, talking with Anne about my plans for the day.
“I need to take it slower today.”
“Good, Mom. Yesterday, you were moving so fast you couldn’t even hear Jase and I.”
I smiled a bit sheepishly.
“Oh,…really? Sorry,” smiling at her over my cup of tea.
Anne knows that often my day will be a reflection of how much rest I was or wasn’t able to get during the night.
She prays for me and her Dad to get rest.
She also asks me regularly how I slept.
This morning I had to admit, I hadn’t slept well.
When I did finally sleep, my dreams kept me from feeling refreshed.
But I was able to share a praise as well.
“Really early this morning, before I was ready to get up, the Lord spoke so clearly.”
“What did He say? Can you remember?”
“Yes. He said, ‘I have redeemed you.'”
Anne waited for me to continue.
“That’s all He said, but I know He’s telling me to let go and simply trust Him today.”
Although, there are tasks which I want to do, and things which need attention, I’m resting today.
Because it’s a daily miracle: redemption.
Jesus paid the price, once and for all.
Yet, it’s in the day to day where I learn how to walk in this wonderful redemption.
And the Lord knew, I needed a reminder before my day had even begun.
What miracles has He done in your day?
