Rest
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him. Do not fret because of him, who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Psalm 37:7
It doesn’t say strive and work hard and diligently while you wait for the Lord to turn the tides;
it doesn’t say worry and fret while you wait for the Lord to bring justice.
It says REST in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him while He works out His mighty plan.
Rest = damam = to be silent, to hold peace, to keep silent, to be silent, to be still.
God has a plan.
It is bigger than us.
We don’t need to strive and fret; rather we need to learn to rest in Him and wait upon the fulfillment of the plan He has set in motion.
And in resting and being still and silent, we will clearly hear His voice speaking into our lives.
Can you take some time today to actively rest in Him?
As you begin to do that, you will, in time, also learn to rest in Him even when you are in motion. REST!
