Jesus is my rest

Goodness what a full week we have had.

I know that we are all going through different seasons in life and our challenges are the same and different as well. Our Lord and Friend is always with us to lead, guide, strengthen, teaching us how to overcome and to rest in His promises at the same time.

I am so grateful that whatever season I am going through, I can rest in His promises and the gift of ‘no condemnation’ for those who are in Christ Jesus. When I am fully trusting in Him, I know that He will bring me through, and I will be victorious – ‘because He always cause us to triumph in Christ Jesus’.

So when my body is tired, my mind feels overwhelmed and my emotions may be too, I can come away and be quiet, and like Psalm 131 says: ‘Lord my heart is meek before You, I don’t consider myself better than others. I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head – such as your complex mysteries and wonders – that I’m not yet ready to understand. I am humbled and quieted in Your presence, like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap. I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you. O people of God, your time has come to quietly trust, waiting upon the Lord now and forever. Amen.’

May you find rest, peace and contentment in His love this week.

Shalom
