Shift the Atmosphere

Rest is physical. Rest is emotional. Rest is mental and spiritual. Rest is a tangible expression of God’s presence. . .
In Exodus 33:14 God’s promise to Moses (then – and to us today is. . . ) “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
We are not a people who have to go looking for the Presence of God; we already have it. God is alive inside us. You can’t get any more Presence than that. Anything that happens externally is a fabulous bonus, but you don’t actually need it. Who doesn’t want the physical, tangible touch of God on their life? Here is the thing: If you practice rest, (seize it, prioritize it, and make it yours) you will feel the touch of God (and experience the Presence of God!) so much more.
