​REST IN GOD’S PRESENCE WHEN you need refreshment. – PROVERBS 3 : 5, ISAIAH 30 : 15

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. The LORD wants you to lean on, trust, and be confident in HIM. When you lean on GOD for support, The LORD delights in your trusting confidence. Many people turn away from The LORD when they are exhausted. They associate GOD with duty and diligence, so they try to hide from HIS Presence when they need a break from work. How this saddens GOD! 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.

Scripture

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. PROVERBS 3 : 5

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

Prayer: God, teach me to rest in You — not as a last resort, but as my first response. Help me see rest not as weakness, but as a way to trust You more deeply. In quietness and stillness with You, strengthen my heart and renew my spirit. Amen.
