Rest

This morning I was watching Pastor Joseph Prince on TV while I was getting ready for work and he said something that caught my attention. He said, “The more you rest, the more God performs.” When I heard this my spirit literally leaped. I was like, “Wow! Daddy that is so true!”

When we are trying to make things happen and figure things out on our own. Trying to piece the puzzle together ourselves, we are working and toiling and wearing ourselves out. We are not allowing God the room to move in our lives and in our situations. But if we stop, take a breath, and decide to trust God with whatever it is, then that’s when we enter into the place of rest, and that is when we see things start to happen. God wants us to live continually in that state of rest, not in and out of it. He wants us to literally lay it all at His feet and climb into His lap and allow Him to do what He does best and that is take care of us.

Just think about it, He’s always taken care of His children. In the beginning He provided a garden for Adam and Eve with everything they needed. When they fell He clothed them. When the Children of Israel were enslaved He made a way out by parting the Red Sea. When we were bound to sin and separated from Him, He had a plan to set everything right by sending His Son to die for us so we could be free and walk with Him again as Adam and Eve did in the garden. He always has and He always will take care of us no matter what we do or where we are at, if we allow Him to.

So make the decision today that no matter what you are going through, you are going to relinquish it to the Father and begin to live in His rest.

God bless!
