Though this seems like defeat, it is under God’s design and under His direction. In ⁠Ezekiel 10⁠ is a description of God abandoning the temple and he goes into exile with His people. That is sacrifice, that is love. In Jeremiah’s letter of Lament he states that God’s Love never ceases (⁠Lamentations 3:22-23⁠). The Hebrew word used there is “hesed;” a never ending, always patient love.

Waiting can be in God’s design and under His direction. But while we wait, we need to live out our vocation. God told Jeremiah that they should seek the welfare of the city they are in exile in. Love them and you will prosper. And while we do this we should worship. Always recognize the glory in God as we serve Him. But, beware, there are snakes ready to deceive.

It is a critical part of our social and personal foundation. It has a deep influence in our lives, for good and sometimes not so good (⁠⁠Proverbs 6:16-19⁠⁠).

There is a structure to families, and discipline matters (⁠Proverbs 23:13-14⁠) (⁠⁠Proverbs 22:6⁠⁠); discipline comforts and protects (⁠Psalm 23:4⁠).

Finally, and most importantly, families forgive! We all fall short, and the Lord heals through forgiveness. Just as Christ forgave first, so also we should forgive (⁠Ephesians 4:31-32⁠).

Search the scriptures for wisdom (⁠Acts 17:11⁠).

Ephesians gives us a great guidelines for both parents and children (obey, honor, respect, guide, encourage...). We are all adopted into God's family and through our adoption there is healing for wounds and mending where there is brokenness.

Fear can cause us to withdraw

1. Fear takes our eyes off God and onto ourselves. Faith is looking back to God
Exodus 4:10-17
Exodus 14:10-31
2. Truth is the enemy of fear
3. Fear obscures our faith. Faith helps us to see the whole picture

However, we must be sure that we do not confuse "rest" with "leisure." We can be just as out of balance by not working enough as we can by not resting enough. Sometimes the challenge is trusting God with our rest during the time of harvest.

Colossians 3:23-24

Matthew 11:28-30

  1. We can be out of balance with our work in one of two ways:
    1. Not working enough
    2. Not resting enough
  2. We should strive for a work/rest rhythm more than a balance
  3. Resting is an act of faith
