After the trauma of leaving Egypt - the Crossing of the Red Sea, the people need time to rest. They arrive at Elim and camp by the water of the twelve springs and seventy palm trees.

When we have gone through pain and trial - or even just had a difficult day - we too need time to rest and be refreshed.

When have you have times of blessed rest?
Take time today to rest by waters - (even if that is only a soak in a bath!)
Reflect on the times when God has given you peace and rest.
When you sleep - be aware that you sleep in the love of God.
