Isaiah 43 There is No Other

There is a hard pull or tug-of-war between the should's and the resting because we're supposed to always be doing something versus the oddity of resting in Him because we simply can.  We go continuously because something has to fill our need and simplicity is nonsense and well, too easy.

When do we go and when do we be still?  When will we accept, receive and remain?

Listen.  Get quiet and listen.  What do you hear?  Could it be your soul crying out for more, the good kind of more?  The kind of more that longs to be filled for good? 

Let it speak, for it is His instruction, promise, vision, desire that is to be accomplished in you and through you.

He creates so that He can fill.  Manipulative?  Maybe, but the rewards are like no other - unspeakable joy, unexplainable peace, fulfillment and grace.  

Why go to another when He is like no other?

Stay with Him and be.
