A Daily Assignment of Rest Much has transpired in my life these 40 years as a follower of Jesus, including marriage to my godly husband, David, and three adult children who are following Jesus. Since retiring from a 45-year nursing career, my time in prayer and study of the Word has grown intentionally and energetically. My daily assignment from the Master is to seek his face and rest in his arms. My calling is to be to others what the Lord is to me. The circumstances of my life have changed, especially in 2011 with the sudden homegoing of my husband after a brief sixweek illness. But this I know: God is faithful, and he will never change. He is with me and will never leave me or forsake me. My future is in the hands of Jesus, my perfect high priest and mediator, the one who intercedes for me at the throne of grace. Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:25
