Sit Child

Sometimes I feel so childlike. When I'm upset I love the things that have always comforted me. Hugs, encouraging words from my Mom, sitting at the feet of my mom while she plays my hair and talks to me, or doesn't say anything. Mothers are just comforting, thank God for that.

This morning as the pastor walked up on the stage and asked the band to just play through the part where the lyrics say, "We will overcome, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony, everyone overcome" he talked a little bit about worry; the topic of today's sermon. He said that fear and worry load us down and make us weary. What we need to do is just sit like a child at the feet of God. 

I thought about how fearful I am and bogged down with worry. Sometimes it's too much, but God does give us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). One of the things I love most about God is he is a comforter. He is what we need and for me that's him being my Abba the comforter. God wants us to sit as his feet and be comforted. When we come to him he takes away all our burdens as Jesus said, 

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” in Mathew 11: 28-30. If you're a child of God, then act like one. As when you were little coming to your parents feet to find comfort and rest, come to God! Rest at his feet and in his comfort. The Bible says that God gives us a peace and understanding that surpasses everything. God gives us shalom, perfect peace making us lack nothing but being completely whole, no deficiency.
