Read these two great passages in Psalm:
Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. (Psalm 116:7)
Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones. (Psalm 127:1-2 NLT)
Today's question informs us that the Hebrew word used for "rest" in Psalm 116 is manoah, which means resting place. The root word conveys the image of a roost or a place to land. Like birds, souls need a place to roost and rest in safety. Which image bests describes your soul right now --a bird in constant flight with no place to land or a bird safely resting on a roost? Why?
