Embracing the Eternal Call
As believers, we’re often plagued by a sense of restlessness, a nagging feeling that there’s something more out there, something better waiting to be discovered. But what if this restlessness is actually a divine calling, urging us to focus on eternal things?
A Heart Anchored in Hope
We know that God has called us to a greater value system, one that aligns with His ultimate purposes for us. This realization should anchor our hearts with hope, reminding us that our true fulfillment lies beyond the fleeting pleasures of this world.
The Illusion of Permanence
We’ve all experienced the letdown of vacations that end too soon, dream homes that come with unexpected problems, and good health that can be snatched away in an instant. Even in the midst of community, we can feel a deep-seated loneliness. It’s a reminder that true rest and satisfaction can’t be found in earthly things.
Finding Delight in the Present
Today, take a moment to appreciate the rich blessings in your life. But when they inevitably fall short of fulfilling you, remember that it’s God’s call on your heart to look upward, to seek the deep treasures of His Kingdom.
True Rest Found in His Presence
In the stillness of His presence, we find true rest. It’s where our restless spirits can be trained to walk in His ways, and where we discover the riches that no earthly bank can hold.
A Prayer for Guidance
Heavenly Father, I ask that You guide my restlessness, helping me to find the deep treasures of Your Kingdom as I walk. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
Reflection
Pay attention to the restlessness within you today. Use it as an opportunity to train your heart and mind to look beyond the present moment, to the source of real rest in His presence.
