Kay © iStock.com/nullplus Share Post Email Advertise on TGC “It feels so nice to finally stop and catch my breath.” Can you remember the last time you had a moment like that? For some of us, it’s been a while. In our hard-working, highly productive culture, we can sometimes feel like exhausted swimmers swept downstream in a fast-moving river, fighting to keep our heads above water, gasping for air. We get up early and stay up late. We never waste a minute. Our schedule is full, running here, running there, running late, running to catch up, running on empty, until we collapse in utter exhaustion. Underneath the satisfaction of being hard-working, hard-playing people is a weariness that’s desperate for the pace to relent so we can rest and recharge.

God allows us to suffer such anguish for our benefit (Isaiah
38:17).
Through suffering, God enables us to repent our sins (vv. 2, 3, 5)
and put all our sins behind His back (v.17). As a result, God gives us
peace in our hearts (v.17). Why? It is because God loves us (v.17).
