Rest: Advent Word of the Day

 God rests on day seven
 Jesus suggested, “Come with me 
 by yourselves to a quiet place and rest.”
  
 We rest in God’s presence,
 His angels give protection.
 Our minds are renewed;
 we learn to rely on God.
 In His ever-present being,
 God, our provider,
 gives us fulfillment.
 In our holy resting,
 we feel the power of change,
 realized by our rest,
 our fears are subtracted
 and we find God.
