“He Leads Me To His Rest”
Psalm 23:2-3Living Bible
” He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me
beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength.
He helps me do what honors him the most.”
Today we are focusing on the word rest. Many times this word seems to be more associated with a time of refreshing ease or inactivity after exertion or labor. Rest is also relief or freedom especially from anything that wearies, troubles or disturbs one’s soul. I believe our Lord desires that we live in His place of rest.
May we learn to stop striving in our own ability and ideas of our own. His ways are higher and His thoughts are greater. I want to exhort your heart today to permit your Lord to cause your soul to live or abide in His place of rest. Permit Him to lead you to that Word that will strengthen your spirit. Allow those words of wisdom to bring light and direction to your heart as your are seeking Him for an answer to a problem. Today I encourage you to draw upon His strength just as you breathe without giving it a thought. It is His strength and rest that will sustain you that you can do His will that you have been assigned to do. This my friends is what will help you to do that which honors Him the most!
