Rest

MAY G. COLE

Two artists were asked to paint pictures illustrating “Rest.” One pictured a quiet lake amid the mountains. Not a ripple disturbed the clear surface of the blue water. Cattle grazed peacefully on the green slopes, and the summer sky looked softly down with no cloud to mar its serenity.
The second artist pictured a roaring, rushing cataract. White foam dashed against the rocks that edged the river. A tree bent over the water, its branches just escaping the rapids. Among the farthest branches was a nest where the mother bird hovered over her little ones.
Which was Rest? Are we at peace with Christ amid the storms and strife of sin, or are we in a state of stagnation? Are we resting in the cross, or are we asleep in Satan’s easy chair?
