ENTERING HIS REST

Entering His Rest

Phil 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Are you troubled?  Do you crave rest in your soul?

Unless you make regular time and room for quiet communion with God, it will not be God that leads you.  It will be people, pressures, fears, doubts, and the world’s values.

Don’t misunderstand me;  people, pressures, deadlines, and legitimate responsibilities must be attended to, but they must never drive or motivate you!

You must find inner rest.  What troubles us most is not the outside circumstances, but what we find within ourselves...the inner struggle.

So I urge you, build an island of quiet within yourself; carry the calmness within you.  Hold in your heart this quiet place of God’s rest.  It is only entered into by faith, by knowing His character, and by realizing His great love for you.

The only way you can know of His great love for you is by digging deep into His Word, for He longs for you to know Him well.  He is not hiding from you.  He has opened His heart to you if you will take the time to learn of Him.

Now acquaint yourself with Him and be at peace;

Thereby good will come to you.

Job 22:21 (Webster’s translation)
