Today I am thankful for Rest! God created the world, but on the 7th day He rested and He set aside this day for his people to rest also. I hope that doesn't change with so many changes these days. But even greater than our physical rest, there is a rest that every believer can enter no matter what our problems may be.
When we are overcome by unexpected pain or trouble, we tend to get stressed, even for a moment, and sometimes "really upset." Becoming more worried and distressed, sometimes to the point of getting sick over a matter. BUT, when we can just step back and REMEMBER "who" is in control, everything can change because God has rest for us. Rest from anything or person who might cause us grief or heartache.
In Christ, we lay back in His arms of great mercy and know that He is taking care of us. This is absolutely the very best rest you will ever find. When you lay it all down at His feet and as a little child you're allowing Him to give you the love and comfort that only He can give.
Thank you, Lord, that I have learned to trust you! Lord, help me to keep learning from you. You are my rest no matter the day of the week. My perfect rest is in you and thru you.
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4: 6-7
