Portland, Oregon
These chairs were designed for the men whose wives are shopping. I was sitting in a similar chair opposite these two...and Janice was shopping. So, why aren't these chair occupied by other men? I guess they were smarter than I was and stayed home.
Malls can be places of complete exhaustion. Shoppers move from one store to another, examining first clothing then accessories then appliances. Not only is there the physical exhaustion of walking the miles of corridors there is the mental anguish of decisions that must be made on the spot.
"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty." Psalm 91:1 New Living Translation
Making decisions can be exhausting. The decision to not make a decision can be exhausting. How often have we wished for God to write on the wall, give us a dream or speak audibly to us about an important decision and God is silent, there is no dream and the writing never appears, yet the decision must be made.
God promises rest in his shadow even in the decision making process. He invites us to sit and rest while the commotion of decision making rages in our brains. His attitude towards us will never change, his forgiveness will always be present even in the difficult decisions of life.
God's Spirit draws us into the "shelter of the Most High." Whatever difficult decision you're facing, may you find rest in the "shadow of the Almighty."
