The Soul's Repose

Social networking encourages and emboldens people to express themselves. It's an electronic shout out to whoever may be tuned in: "Hey, I exist and I have something to say. Listen up and acknowlegde my existence." Whose nod are we angling for and craving? Too often I'm seeking yours.

We need God, His Word, and interaction with people, but no approval but God's (2 Tim. 2:15). Question for my soul: Are you enough with Jesus and no other props?

That question leads to others: On whom do I set my hopes? Is my soul at rest in Jesus? Where does my soul find its sweetest repose? My soul finds rest in God alone, my Rock and my Salvation.

Saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, revealed in God's Word alone, for God's glory alone.
