RECEIVING REST IN JESUS

” COME TO ME, ALL OF YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND CARRY HEAVY BURDENS, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. ” MATTHEW 11:28

We all become weary in this life. We are constantly overcoming obstacles and mountains set before us. No matter the situation, we have a great resting place in Jesus. We should be able to take our problems and struggles to the Lord each time we confront them. We should be able to trust our Lord to help us through these times of need. However, before we can do that, we must totally trust in our Lord. We must be able to leave our problems at his feet and not pick them up when we leave. We must be able to meditate and concentrate on the Lord’s Word and to listen very carefully to what he is saying to us. We must follow his word without fear or hesitation. If we do, our Lord God in heaven promises to get us through our many struggles. We must have great faith in order to believe what the Lord is telling us. We must have great faith to be able to put his word into action. We must build our faith to a level that helps us to honor our God and to listen and do as he instructs. If we have this faith then we are able do all things through Christ who gives us strength. In the face of doubt, worry and fear, we must continue to praise our Lord, pray to our Lord and confess his promises for our lives. Our God is the same yesterday, today and forever! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS! REMEMBER HE IS OUR RESTING PLACE!
