ARRESTED

The basic human instinct for harmony, symmetry, balance and rhythm is continually assaulted by the unpredictable anarchy that each new day brings. Striving to enter rest is the daily conundrum of the soul. It seems that most of my energy is exhausted in resistance, only to find rest in abandon. The work of God’s Spirit is precisely to bring order and truth out of chaos by leading us to still waters. Lord, what sweet whisperings await the relinquished heart! Arrest me--body, soul and spirit. Teach me to succumb to Your promptings BEFORE running headlong into walls. Constrain me to “Come Unto” before I ”Go Therefore.” At Your feet is the better part.
