"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Augustine's maxim is so true: "Our souls are restless until we find our rest in Thee." Are our souls "on the move" today? Are they restless, ill at ease, and unsettled? If so, then we need to come to Jesus. If not, then we are resting in Jesus. Sin causes our souls to "move around," like planets in the night sky. Faith causes them to rest, like stars in the firmament.
A soul at rest can pray to God, and can concentrate on what is truly important. A soul that is restless can only do a lot of work, hoping to assuage its guilt. God only accepts souls that come to Christ, and rest in Him.
[Puritan quote of the day: "This may be a great comfort to you: God does not expect you to root out all presence of sin, but only to keep down the reigning of sin in you." --Christopher Love, in, "The Morti-
fied Christian"]
