Since my life was formed in His hands, only in Him I will “Find Rest.” All my fears, my weakness, my hurts, I surrender them all.
I know there are many situations in life that cause us to lose our peace and rest in God.
So where do you turn to “find rest?” Many turn to a substance of some kind. Anything other than Jesus is a temporary fix. Before I knew Jesus personally, I too use to go to substances. There is such a difference from knowing Jesus personally, and letting Him help you through the storms. Than just knowing Him by Name. He truly is what He said, the Spirit of the living God inside you. There is NOTHING, NOTHING, no drug, drink, or any substance that sustains rest like Jesus Christ.
I would be lying to you if I told you I have no fear, no worries, no weaknesses, just because I am a child of God. Oh, I have had many storms that have raged through my life, and I am sure there will be more. I have fears even now, that try to crush me if I would allow them to. But IQUICKLY go to the God who formed me in His hands. He knows my story from the beginning of my life, till I take my last breath.
This scripture brings me so much comfort.
Psalm 139: 13-16, “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
Romans 8: 31, He is my God who is for me, not against me. Psalm 100: 5, A God of mercy and love unchanging. I surrender everything to Him, so my heart can find the rest that He desires for me to have.
God has a story to tell from my life. I know that I have a purpose for existing, and it is not for myself. So I surrender this life He gave me, so that He can use it for His glory.
I pray every day, that by the end of my day, I made Him smile in some way.
P.S., I know I can get Him mad too, not intentionally, but that is what I love about His unchanging love for me. He knows my heart, and His love is unconditional!
