“For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.” Hebrews 4:10
This spiritual truth will dramatically change your life and bring the simplicity and order of Jesus.
Jan and I left our home with all our furniture in a storage unit six weeks ago and started a journey ordained by God to begin a new ministry. We have very little money or specific direction and are resting in Jesus.
Jesus has met all our food and lodging needs but most of the time it is at the very last moment. This is nerve racking and creates anger and frustration at times. We acknowledge Jesus has our back!
The example of resting in God comes from the creation story. God created the heavens and earth in six days and rested on the seventh day.
Jesus is telling believers to cease from striving (or works) and rest in God.
This is an instruction to walk by faith and wait upon God.
This is like the instructions to King Jehoshaphat to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord while three enemy tribes were coming to destroy Judah.
We have to learn the discipline of trusting the Spirit of God. It is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit.
We do not need to panic or take worldly measures to avoid danger. Jesus has our back.
Resting in Jesus is drawing upon His powerful attributes through prayer, reading the Word and listening for His voice.
Resting is not sitting idly; it is operating in the perfect will of God.
The Holy Spirit is how you rest in Jesus. He is the life of Jesus and is alive in all believers.
Submit to the authority of the Holy Spirit and He will guide your footsteps into the green pastures and still waters of Jesus. He will show you the priorities of life and what to let go of.
Resting is trusting Jesus to protect and deliver a believer from adversity.
