In this image from Newport Oregon, sea lions can be seen on the docks below. The Yaquina Bay Bridge rises in the background.
It is interesting how sea lions have found a spot so near people on this dock. The space is limited, and not all the sea lines can find spots. While we were watching, a sea lion hopped on top of several other sea lions and scooted over them until it stopped on a large sea lion. The other creature complained loudly but then settled down and let the interloper stay.
Fortunately for us, when we want to find a place close to God, there is plenty of space.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
Let’s take advantage of the rest that Jesus offers where we don’t have to climb over others to get it.
