A time to Rest

(1 Chr 27:1 NKJV) And the children of Israel, according to their number, the heads of fathers' houses, the captains of thousands and hundreds and their officers, served the king in every matter of the military divisions. These divisions came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, each division having twenty-four thousand.

Each month, a different division of the army came and went to serve the king. It was not a permanent army with all the 12 divisions of 24,000 men being available, but they took turns. They served only once every 12 months.

I believe that there are many seasons in life, and God is saying that this season is a season
to draw back, to start enjoying the fellowship with Him, to read the bible as a matter
of communion with God rather than to study the bible.

It is also a season, to be myself. I have spend a long time to find out who I am, but this is
the season to be how Christ created me as.

There is no rush in this season, no datelines, no vision and mission, rather, to rest and be still
in His presence. I have been so busy, doing work for God, rather than having that time
with Him.

It is time to put myself and my work, my ministry, in 2nd gear, and to start enjoying life and praising God each day and to dwell in His Grace and Mercy. There is no need to hurry for God is not in a hurry.
