Psalms 62:5-8 “My soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”

In today’s Take Away, Rossaue talks about rest and the benefits we experience when we choose to rest in God. 

His word says in the place of rest we won’t be shaken. That we will be protected and surrounded by His presence in that place of rest.  But what happens when we have left that place of rest? 

When we are operating out of our own strength and ability, we tangibly experience the loss of peace. And as believers and followers of Christ we can use that as a marker. To help us to see when we have stepped outside of His best and need to go back and re-focus. 

Knowing that God is leading us, we operate from a posture of listening and hearing His voice. Sometimes God will leads us to sit still and quiet before Him and other times He will call us to run with all our might, but regardless of what obedience looks like, we can walk in confidence knowing that it is God who is ordering our steps. It’s God does the work, not us. 

Phillippians 4:6-7 says that the Lord is near. That we are to be anxious for nothing. And that the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard our minds and our hearts in Christ Jesus. 

Are you walking in peace today? Has peace left you? If so, take a moment, pause, and let God bring you back to a place of rest in Him. He is faithful to His word! And His plans for you are always good!
