I had this cute picture from Pop this morning. Can you imagine a lay by on very busy road? The meadows over the hedge are full of contented cows, grazing quietly on the grass. As the view unfolds you can see mountains in the far horizon, snow glistening on the tops like starlight in the heaven. There is a car in the lay by and beside the car is a table laid out for a picnic, brimming over with goodies of all kinds. Two comfortable chairs are alongside the table and me and Jesus are just content to be in each others company. The traffic on the road is very busy. Buses, cars, lorries and even motorbikes are travelling up and down the road, but they don't bother us.
The interpretation for me was that Jesus and me are on a different journey than everyone depicted on the road. Our journey is unique as it is His planned journey for me. I am in fact not doing anything at all as He is completely in charge of the planning, and the resources. For now it's time to picnic, to be alone together and spend more time in fellowship than we have before. It's an ideal time, and a great privilege to be able to immerse my whole being in the river of His love. 'Strive to enter My rest....' comes to mind. There is no striving now.
