Day 62...(Leviticus 17; Psalm 62)..."From Heebie-Jeebies to Rest to All Saints"

Tonight I have mild case of the "heebie-jeebies." It just so happens I am just getting over the horrible gory images of Halloween and Leviticus teaches not to eat blood. I say absolutely no problem on that one. I think I can agree to do that! Makes you worry about why this had to be written!

In contrast by a much calmer reading...the Psalmist tells us where to find rest. "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation;he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." The Lord is the source of perfect rest. There is a difference between rest and sleep. Sleep alone does not provide rest for the soul. Only the Lord can provide rest for the soul.

The greatest reassurance of all is ultimate rest God gives to the Saints in Heaven. All Saints Sunday is a great time to remember the Saints and their reward of rest in Heaven!
