“REST IN GOD’S PRESENCE WHEN you need refreshment. Resting is not necessarily idleness, as people often perceive it. When you relax in GOD’S company, you are demonstrating trust in GOD. Trust is a rich word, laden with meaning and direction for your life. GOD wants you to lean on, trust, and be confident in HIM. When you lean on GOD for support, HE delights in your trusting confidence. Many people turn away from GOD when they are exhausted. They associate GOD with duty and diligence, so they try to hide from The LORD’S Presence when they need a break from work. How this saddens The LORD! As GOD spoke through HIS prophet Isaiah: In returning to GOD and resting in GOD you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. PROVERBS 3 : 5 (AMP)
For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved;in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.
But you were unwilling, Isaiah 30:15
Prayer: Lord help me to lean on and trust in you for my rest and refreshment. When I’m with you, let it be a relaxing and peaceful time. May your word fill me with all joy and peace as I trust in you, so that I will overflow with hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
