Rest and Trust

I have been reminded over the past few weeks how deeply intwined in my mind rest and trust are. To rest, to take time to specifically not do school work and spend time with Jesus implies the following:

One, I am not God. It is not necessary for me to be busy all the time because the world will continue without me. Not only that, but I cannot function without a certain amount of sleep and down time, again revealing my own non-deity. There is much more that could be said here like I am not all-powerful, as wise as I think, etc. but it ultimately boils down to God being God and the fact that I am not and I must trust him as God to work out everything around me without my input at every turn.

Two, God is most important. Even more important then grades, ministry, friends or whatever else calls to me. Setting time aside to spend time with Jesus shows my value of him as most precious in my life, even if that involves the lack of completion of another task. God must be the most important as to remove him from that place will make whatever else I'm doing (including ministry) into an idol. Not good.
