A REST FOR YOUR SOUL
Text: Matthew 11:28-30
By: Adeaga O. Favour
At a time when there is darkness in the land, things seeming not to work and panic on how to sustain in the hard times, God's rest is ever sure for His children. Heb 4:9 assures that "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."
Little wonder Jesus said "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," Matt 11:28. An assuring and lasting rest comes from above and not abroad, and is never based on your job security, high connections or huge investments.
The rest of God grants you peace in the storm (Mark 4:37-38) and ensures your exemption from the scourges of the sun (Ps 91:7-10) so that while others are complaining, you are busy enjoying divine liftings (Job 22:29). Take cover in God's assuring rest.
REFLECTION FOR TODAY:
Only Jesus has the rest your soul needs.
PRAY:
Lord, I embrace the rest that is in You in Jesus' name.
