As I continue on with my journey of Rest, I ran across a few things that I wanted to share! HE never ceases to amaze me. He is totally just a wonderful wonderful Father that just really loves us so very much.
I read that God offered rest to Israel in the Old Testament. He also offered them the Promised Land and rest from their enemies. He said he would go before them and defeat their enemies so that they could live securely in the land he had given them (Deut.12:9,10). All they had to do was trust him and go into the land—and he would protect them so that they could settle in the land and live securely. The Exodus generation forfeited this rest because they refused to trust God’s promise by going into the land. But the subsequent generation did trust God, and following Joshua they entered this rest. I dont know about you, but this girl isnt going to forfeit anything...I am going to TRUST AND OBEY!

Psalm 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
There is a few quotes that just really touched my heart--totally LOVE these:

Starts with the word REST:

  • is to be with the Lord Himself
  • is staying safe in the Lord
  • is to go on to Maturity
  • is spiritual growth

Are you ready to rest??
