Exodus 33:14 (NIV)
14 The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
The Dictionary describes rest as a; relief or freedom, esp. from anything that wearies, troubles, or disturbs. From the book of Genesis and throughout the scriptures, rest a topic that is spoken upon in many occasions. In that being it shows the heart of GOD and how important it is for us who trust in him to rest in him. To rest from our decisions, our wants, our works and simply learn and have him continually teach us to rely solely on him. Scientifically speaking for a moment the body requires a certain amount of rest and spiritually speaking it is required and needed when great decisions and motions are needed to be made. Genesis shows us that the Lord worked on creating the earth for 6 days and on the 7th day he rested. In Exodus 33:14 the Lord tells that he is with us and will give us rest. Today, ask whatever is happening in your life good, bad or a storm ask the Lord to help you learn to rest and rely on him. To be still before him and to be most of all rested before making any form of decision in your life! You are blessed, beautiful and highly favored and you must understand that resting the Lord is just as important as praising, worshiping and honoring GOD. Because as you learn to rest in him you are honoring him and showing him that you respect him and respect his love for you as a child.
Father in the name of Jesus we ask you today to fill our hearts with rest, the ability to rest from all our works, ways and even wants. Today in you I humble myself and lay down my works to you! Asking you Holy Spirit to fill my life with profound rest, knowledge and the ability to be my faith and rest to work side by side in you. In Jesus name I pray and praise Amen!
