Find Rest.
There are times when life's struggles can become overwhelming. Without the right support, discouragement will settle in. But where does a person turn in order to find the right help? After much contemplating I looked beyond this world and sought the eternal answer to life's struggles. That's when I learned that there is a rest for God’s people from constant striving. They are no longer bound by life's circumstances having been accepted in His sight.
Many have sought after this rest yet failed to enter in, for it takes a measure of faith to repent from one's sin and cease the struggle brought on by the fall. We must learn to obey God’s Spirit by responding to His call. It was through The Holy Spirit I learned that the only way to enter God’s rest was through Jesus Christ, for He invited; "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Mathew 11:28)
I have found reading the Psalms brings much comfort when life becomes challenging. It is in them we find the invitation to enter God's rest, such as Psalm 62: 5-8; "Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge." The Lord’s offer is open to all who will accept it, then by faith enter His rest where we experience eternal peace.
Today, let us give thanks to Our Heavenly Father for all His promise's of rest. John Joseph Fox.
