“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls.” - Matthew 11:28-29. AMP
I heard GOD say…REST. Finding Spiritual REST in the LORD can be a difficult process. However, when GOD calls us to REST, He sees a need to seek Him more. GOD’s Spiritual Rest is impact. It impacts your spiritual walk with Him. It resets all your physical and mental facilities to bow down to Him. When you stop and rest in the LORD, your physical and spiritual body, mind, and soul are renewed and refreshed. Spiritual Rest is the strength you need to re-focus on, such as making time to sit quietly, meditate, and Pray in the presence of the LORD.
GOD is calling us to abandon the hustle of doing too much and just stop and REST in His Glory. Do You feel that you need to be spiritually realigned? Are you finding it difficult to find peace? If your answer is yes to both of those questions, then GOD is calling You to Rest Spiritually in Him. He knows that the society we live in does not promote SPIRITUAL REST. There, He had to call the Body of Christ to settle down and REST in Him. He says, "Come release all your burdens," and trust Him to recharge you for the long journey ahead. Spiritual Rest is peaceful trust. Peaceful trust is obedience unto GOD and trusting Him to recalibrate your busy life to a place of REST in Him.
Remember:
GOD is our complete source of all provision, providence, and Spiritual Rest in Him.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly FATHER,
Thank You for inviting us to rest in you. Teach us how to pause and just take up spiritual residence in your peaceful rest. In Your Matchless Name, Jesus, Amen.
