Find rest in the Lord [December 1,2022 ]
Find rest in the Lord
Isaiah 26:3-4
He will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him ( paraphrased)
To find rest in the Lord is to find peace and comfort in the Lord. The verse above says, those who focus on God or put their complete trust in the Lord have peace.
Biblical peace is not the absence of war or conflict as most dictionaries define peace but it is the ability to remain calm in the midst of chaos.
Psalm 46:10 says
Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Meaning, remain calm, even in the midst of trouble, do not fret or worry, just trust in me and I will move on your behalf.
Philippians 4:6-7
Have no anxiety about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
This verse from the new testament also says we should not fret or worry but we should turnover whatever disturbs us to the Lord and He will give us peace
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Trust in God completely at all times.
Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn
My faith has found
A resting place
Not in device nor creed
I trust the ever living one
His wounds for me
Shall prove
I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough
That Jesus died
And that He died
For me
Amen
