Me: Overall I would have to say that it has been a good day!
Prodigal: That I would have to agree with.
Me: We can end the day in our bed’s and get some peaceful rest.
This is from the book Joy in Christ’s Presence by Charles Spurgeon
Next, these words mean rest about all things. The person who is uneasy about anything has not found rest. A thousand thorns and briars grow on the soil of this earth, and no man can happily walk life’s way unless his feet are “shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace” (Eph 6:15), which Jesus gives. In Christ, we are at rest concerning our duties, for He instructs and helps us in them. In Him, we are at rest about our trials, for He sympathizes with us in them. With His love, we are at rest as to the movements of Providence, for His Father loves us and will not allow anything to harm us. Concerning the past, we rest in His forgiving love. As to the present, it is bright with His loving fellowship. As to the future, it is brilliant with His expected coming.
Romans 13:9
For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet. “These and other such commandments are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
