Episode 173 - Rest Takes Practice


Listen Later

In this episode, we discover the practice of rest as part of our Bible study, The Journey Back To Your Heart. Listen in as we learn together that rest is not found in a destination, but in a Person.

Scriptures in this episode (all scriptures quoted from the New Living Translation unless otherwise noted):

-John 14:27, Matthew 11:28-30, Romans 12:2 (The Message), Psalm 23, Matthew 6:24-27, 2 Cor. 10:3-5, Colossians 3:1-2 (NIV)

Show Notes & Links:

-Rest is not found in a destination or a set of calming daily tasks—rest is an internal state of being that begins and ends in a personal connection with God. 

-Jesus call everyone to His rest (Mt. 11:28)--no one is excluded!

-Jesus is our shepherd. His job is to care for us. Our job is to let Him. (Ps. 23)

-Keeping our heart and mind set on things above (Col. 3) is like a truth filter for everything that comes into our lives.

-We hear from God when we are connected to Him. Tips for keeping your mind open to God's voice.

-Don't let the culture squeeze you into its mold (Rom. 12:2)

-What are the "rest-busters" that are keeping you from experiencing rest with God?
