REST

10/8/2018

Over the past few weeks, “Rest” has been coming up as the topic of many conversations. I have to be honest and tell you that rest does not come easily for me! So, when I saw that our lesson this coming Sunday is about just that I laughed,thinking, God really does have a sense of humor. How was I going to encourage others to rest when I struggle to practice this myself? This thought moved me to search the scriptures. Here’s what I found, “Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you (Psalms 116:7)” What a powerful message! God wants us to find rest. Not just for our bodies or for our minds, but rest for our SOULS. How do we find this rest, or as the scripture above says return to rest? “Abide in Me. Come to Me. Rest in Me.” We find rest for our souls in Jesus, and in Him alone! My prayer this week is that each of us walk into the arms of Jesus, laying down every burden and find the rest that He has for us. “Return to your rest, my soul.”
