Peace and Purpose

Peace and purpose are found in the will of God.
I have been thinking about my place in the world.
I guess that happens when you hit the Big 4-0.

It seems that just working and doing the day to day affairs of life is never enough.
It would be nice to rest peacefully in the purposes of God.

The writer of Hebrews talks about a place of rest.

Heb. 4:9 "So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God . . ." (NLT)

How many people ever reach such a place.

It seems that most of us wander aimlessly in the Wilderness of "Things of this World entering in" falling to the wayside of life like salt that has lost its saltiness.

Are we Moses or the Israelites?

Will we enter in or die in the wilderness never really finding our true purpose and the joy that comes from resting in God.

It's something to think about.
