Bible Ballistics: BBs #715 Give It A Rest! Yes YOU!!!
I truly have a simple and brief word for us this morning: take a breath, look up and rest in The Lord! For only by resting in HIM do we find our strength.
“Finally, my brethren, be strong
in the Lord,
and in the power
of his might.” Ephesians 6:10
As the Psalmist put so aptly:
“In God is my salvation
and my glory:
the rock of my strength,
and my refuge,
is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people,
pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge
for us. Selah.” Psalm 62:7-8
As the stresses of life often leave us dry, drained, and down-hearted, we need only lift up our eyes to the ONE who is our hope, our sustenance and our safe place. May we all take the advice of another of my favorite Psalms today, and just rest “in The Lord”! I’m so grateful that HE is always there!
“Trust in the LORD,
and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land,
and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD;
and he shall give thee
the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD;
trust also in him;
and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth
thy righteousness
as the light,
and thy judgment
as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD,
and wait patiently for him:
fret not thyself because of him
who prospereth in his way,
because of the man
who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger,
and forsake wrath:
fret not thyself in any wise
to do evil.” Psalm 37:3-8
We can rest in Jesus when we keep our eyes on HIM—pressing ever onward in HIS power, strength and grace.
“Brethren, I count not myself
to have apprehended:
but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things
which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those things
which are before,
14 I press toward the mark
for the prize
of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14
Press on by resting IN JESUS! Blessings on your day my friends!
Amen and Amen!
