God loved creating the world. I believe He clapped with joy when the first daisy popped out of the ground. And when He was done, He rested. He enjoyed His creation. He walked in the cool of the garden with Adam and Eve (before they rebelled.)

Likewise, God created me to enjoy certain activities. He wants me to work with my passion the way He did. And when I am done, He wants me to take His example and rest and enjoy.

“For the person who has entered his rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from his.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭CSB‬‬

God created me with specific talents, skills, interests, and passions to accomplish certain tasks and meet certain needs during the specific time of my life in the all places I go during that lifetime.

It’s a little mind-boggling, but I’m exactly what He planned for where I am right now.

The key to unlocking that beautiful plan is staying in touch with Him (“Pray constantly.” 1 Thess. 5:17) and seeking His will in all situations (“Seek first the kingdom of God….”Matt.‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭CSB)‬‬

I will have peace with God when Jesus returns because I accepted Him as my Savior. That will be the final, beautiful rest.

In addition, if I pray, seek His will, obey it, and work toward accomplishing the things He created me to do, I can have the peace of God now. I can enter into His rest now because doing His works is an easy, light burden. He created me to do them.

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me a purpose as well as the skills and desire to fulfill that purpose. Forgive me for trying to meet some other purposes that I wasn’t designed for because society told me I should go that direction. Continually remind me to return to your plan for me because you love me and know me. Your goals are the right ones to give me peace today.
