Find The Rest

Jeremiah 6:16b
You will find rest for your souls!

Do you want to find rest?
It seems in the day and age in which we live in - few people get enough rest -few Bible believing God Fearing Jesus loving people spend enough time resting at Jesus' feet -
This includes those of us who do daily devotionals online - I cannot count how many times I have rushed to my keyboard to just type it out - leaving only to find I didn't spend that much time with God - now what I don't want to do is get legalistic and make my relationship with Christ a by rules thing - and I don't want to get to the point of measuring how much time I spend with and how much time I don't spend with God - that could get to be splitting hairs - I say all this to say - that we need rest - we need real honest to goodness rest - rest for our souls - they do get weiry - this world can throw a lot at us - on many levels we are all worn out - we have too much - we do too much - we watch too much -eat too much - spend too much - and yet we rest little!
We must find rest for our souls - and where we look does matter - we must look for this rest in no other place but GOD alone - I have to admit I have been woundering a round a little these days - and what I am finding is that there is no one like JESUS - the world who claims to want us - cannot care for us like our Savior - no one else can do to us what JESUS can do to us - HE can take our broken heart and make it brand new - He can take our sins away never to return! HE can change the course of our lives -
but do this we need HIM and in HIM we find our rest - and without rest we become brittle and dry up - we become lifeless - make sure the life in you is not your own!
The life we live by faith must in lived out in CHRIST!
Tired? Has it been a busy day? Do you catch yourself coming and going?
Well go to CHRIST now and lay it all down -
may we contiune to follow our LORD where ever and when ever He leads us -
and we will find rest - real lasting much needed rest!

Word to the wise:If you are lonely, lost and confused - reach out to JESUS
HE WILL PULL YOU THROUGH!
