REST

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28

We are living in stressful times and many people are battling to cope with daily demands. You could be struggling with depressing thoughts or some seemingly insurmountable challenge that is causing you stress, worry and anxiety. There is a way out. You can find rest when you come to Jesus.

You find rest by coming to Jesus and spending time with Him. He will ease your mind and give you rest; He will restore your soul. Sadly, too many people are busy about many things and they neglect fellowship with the Lord.

If you will make time for the Lord and make spending time with Him a priority, then stress, worry and anxiety will melt like wax in His presence. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

For My yoke is easy and burden is light.

Matthew 11:30

If you want to travel light, I encourage you to make spending time with God a priority. God wants you to rest inwardly, so that you can be fruitful and productive, working from a posture of rest. That is where your victory is.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:57

So, remove stress, worry and anxiety from you. Enjoy times of fellowship with the Lord and times of refreshing will come. Spend time with the Lord and find rest for your soul.

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Matthew 11:29

Thought of the day: I find rest in spending time with Jesus.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that I find rest in You. Thank You that when I spend time with You, stress, worry and anxiety melt like wax in Your presence, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD “And like the hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29 The word of God will purify you and break your stony heart. The word of God will make you holy and soften your heart. If you will give yourself to the word it will change you. Jesus said, “Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth.” Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth. John 17:17 The word is powerful nothing compares to the word. It will transform you and reshape your destiny. The word will make your life beautiful. If you will stick to the word it will make you an absolute success. So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32 The Bible says that you are born of the word and that makes you an absolute victor in life. You can never be defeated, you can never be disadvantaged in life; you can live your life in perpet...

YOU LIVE IN THE ARK

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Genesis 7:17 When the Lord destroyed the earth with the flood, there was a flood for forty days and forty nights, Noah and his family where in the ark, as the water rose, the ark rose above the waters. As a child of God, figuratively, you live in the ark. The world around you may be going through trouble but you are safe in the ark. You are in the world but you are not of the world. When the world is going through trouble you just go upward and forward. You are resting in God’s grace and love. You have peace on the inside, you are untouched by trouble. There could be pestilence and famine going on around you but it will not come to you. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7 Live in the secret place of the Most High, “in the ark,” in His presence and His glory. There no weapon for...

YOU ARE THE LIGHT IN YOUR WORLD

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14 People in the world are in darkness; they walk in ignorance to God’s Word. As a believer you can enlighten other people’s darkness; you can make them see. You are the light of the world. You are a leader with solutions. You can win souls and lead many to righteousness. You can liberate and empower others. You can lead by example and make a difference. You can distinguish yourself as the light of the world by bearing good fruit and producing good works. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 People everywhere are looking for leaders who will lead them. They are looking for the light, someone who will lead and solve problems. You can be that difference maker and change other people’s lives. When people see you, what do they see; what do they think? Are you the solution or the problem? You can be a burning ...
