Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28, NIV
God
wants to give you rest. He wants to refresh and restore your soul-your
mind, will and emotions. It's so easy to get caught up in the
"busyness" of life, and before long, your mind, will and emotions are
so "spun up" that you can barely think straight! But even in the hustle
of life, you can find rest, ease and relaxation. God wants you to
enjoy your life. That's why He tells us to come to Him. God wants to
take care of everything that concerns you so that you can find rest in
your innermost being.
Imagine how you would feel if someone
came up to you today and said, "Give me all of your monthly bills; I'm
going to pay them." You'd get pretty excited, wouldn't you? But it
wouldn't happen until you did your part to actually hand that person
your bills. They can't pay them for you if you never release them. In
the same way, when we release our cares and concerns to God, He
promises to take care of them.
Today, choose to release your
cares to the Lord. Let Him fill you with His peace and joy. Receive the
rest that He promises and enjoy the fulfillment and blessing He has
for you!
Prayer for Today:
Father in heaven, today I
humbly come to You. I choose to cast my cares on You so that I can live
in Your rest. Thank You for Your goodness to me. Help me find ways to
share Your goodness with those around me today in Jesus' name. Amen.
Have A Great Day!
