8. Displays first-hand knowledge of what it means to rest in the Lord. Does not strive but is able to find the balance between Godly ambition and letting God have his way.

Main Idea: Learning Contentment in all things


Here are a few examples of practical ways to rest in the Lord:

  1. Prayer: One of the most fundamental ways to rest in the Lord is through prayer. Taking time to speak with God and share your thoughts, worries, and concerns can help you release them to Him, and trust that He will take care of them.
  2. Meditation: Taking time to meditate on God's word and reflect on His promises can help you focus your thoughts on Him and His goodness, leading to peace and rest.
  3. Worship: Engaging in acts of worship, such as singing, playing an instrument, or listening to worship music can also be a way to rest in the Lord. It can help shift your focus from your own worries to the greatness and goodness of God.
  4. Resting in God's timing: Sometimes, one of the most difficult aspects of resting in the Lord is trusting in His timing and plan. Instead of striving to control outcomes, practicing patience and waiting on God can bring peace and rest.
  5. Trusting in God's provision: Practicing gratitude and trust that God will provide for our needs can help us to rest in Him. Instead of worrying about what we don't have or what we might lack in the future, we can rest in the knowledge that God will take care of us.
