Real Rest

Only in God is my soul 
              at rest.  
     From Him comes my  
               salvation. 

This is the beginning of Psalm 62 as written into a song by John Michael Talbot.  

The NIV puts it this way: 

1 Truly my soul finds rest 
                  in God;
                     my salvation comes from him.
2 Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
                 he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

Are you resting in Him like my dog Mr. Knightley is resting in the pillows on my bed?  This is what trust looks like: taking your burdens to the Lord, and leaving them there, believing that in Him only is your salvation.  Truly, in Him only can you be at peace.  He only is your rock and fortress.  Drop your burdens there, and rest.  Really rest.
