Are You Resting In The Assurance Of God's Promises or Are You Allowing Life To Hit You To The Point That You Don't Know What To Do?

It's time to rest assured.   To rest means to cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength.  When you are assured of something, you are confident and secure.    God wants you to enter into His rest and He wants you to walk in complete confidence concerning His Word and His will. 

Sometimes we just don't know how to handle the situations we encounter in life.   Sometimes life hits us so hard that we don't have much time to think about how to respond.   God wants you to begin to "rest assured".   When life hits you, He wants you to be still and to know that He is God.   He wants you to know that in your weakness, He is strong.   He wants you to be confident in knowing that He has promised to take care of you and He wants you to have security in and through His Word. 

In order to rest assured, you can't be a reactionary person.   A person who reacts in most cases is acting based on emotions.   God wants you to be a person who responds to the situations in your life.   He wants you to respond based on your knowledge of who He is and what He has promised to do in you, for you, and through you.    

It's time to rest assured.   It's time to wait on God and to watch God do His perfect work in and through you.   

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION Isaiah 41:10“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
