Sunday morning I went to the kitchen to make the coffee and as I turned on the light I noticed a dragonfly buzzing toward the light fixture. I continued setting up the coffee pot and once I started it brewing I got a ladder so I could get closer to the dragonfly.I tried catching it with my fingers...I thought if only I could gently hold on to it I could set it free. That didn't work ...probably would have pinched off a wing had I succeeded...they are so delicate. It flew toward the light then rested then flew again. I was concerned that it was going to fry if it continued to fly into the light bulb. Finally, I decided to hold out my hand close to the light in order to give it another resting place...it lit on my hand and I was able to carry it outside to safety.
The dragonfly just needed to trust that my hand was better than constantly knocking against the light fixture and getting nowhere. That's how it is with our Heavenly Father...it's much better to rest in His hands.
Matthew 11:28-29 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowely in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
