You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
This weekend, I've been thinking about rest a lot. Augustine said, "You, O Lord, have made us for thyself, and our hearts are restless until we find our rest in Thee". This is a great truth. This morning I woke up in soft blankets and peaked my head up to see water and mountain. This is what God has made, not for its own glory, but for us - to show us who He is. If we find rest in these things, we still miss Jesus. The mountains can't know my rising and my thinking; only God does. He may use these things to bring us closer to Himself, but He cannot be any closer in His knowledge of us. What a beautiful thought!
