79 - "A Groundswell of Hope" Joshua 20-21

 #79 God gives rest on every side---physical woes, pressures of the day, and present prevailing thoughts and emotions that can debilitate us daily. Joshua 21:44. #60000thoughts #talkingtomyself     

                                                       

This verse, Joshua 21:44, is a groundswell up to this very age.  Not only did God give them rest from 40 years of wilderness travels, and rest from the fatigue of battle against the Canaanites, but also rest from the pressures and thoughts and emotions within where they battled too.  All the days of Joshua.  God gave rest on every side.  Oh God!  You write these verses as a ground of hope and confidence to me this very night.  Give me rest on every side.  I've spent decades following You and have sought a rest from the physical labor and the woes of life.  This recorded experience stands my ground, my confidence in You and what You will yet do.  In due time. 

And I pray this as a prayer for my children, especially my two girls who are such hard workers laying down their lives for others. Praying a groundswell of hope.
