Rest

 

Matthew 11:28 - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

In the chaotic and busy world we live in today, where do you find rest? True rest is only found in Jesus Christ. He promises you in the above verse that if you will come to Him He will give you rest.

Jesus goes on to say in the next verse how we can gain true rest. Matthew 11:29 - Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 

That rest comes from trusting in Christ, putting our faith and hope in Him. Psalm 37:7 - Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 

As we are taught in Psalm 16:9 - Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 

That hope that we discussed in a previous devotion will bring rest to your body and soul. Rest in the Lord knowing the Truth of Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
