Rest In God
Rest In God
Yes, 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.– Psalm 62:5-8 | NIV
The Israelites, on their journey to the Promised Land from Egypt, passed through various stages along the way. For every stage, the most important factor that determined how short or long they tarried at those stages was God, and their relationship with God.
In your path to purpose and fulfillment, you will pass through different stages on the journey, but the most important factor that determines your outcome is God and your relationship with Him.
Ask yourself this: “What am I going to centre the rest of my life around?”
It’s the most important thing you will ever have to decide.
God wants to be at the center of your life—and that can start when you accept his offer of salvation. God promised that for those who believe in Jesus, there is no condemnation. He sent Jesus to save you from your sins. His death on the cross paid for every wrong you’ve ever done or will do. And by sacrificing himself for your sins and giving you his righteousness, Jesus made it possible for you to have a relationship with God the Father.
The good news doesn’t stop there. God also raised Jesus from the dead, proving his power over sin and death. And that makes it possible for you to spend eternity with him in heaven.
It even gets better; He empowers everyone who comes to Him with His power and Spirit to become Holy and reign in life, just like Jesus.
So take a pause today. Has anything been troubling you lately? Has your life become centered around something or someone other than God? Rest in God, yield your heart and ways to Him, and surely He will lead you into doing greater works in life and righteousness.
Now let’s read Psalm 62, meditate on the verses, and declare it as a prayer;
Truly, my soul finds rest in God;
My salvation comes from him.
Truly, he is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, and I will never be shaken.
How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
Surely they intend to topple me
from my lofty place;
They take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
But in their hearts, they curse.
Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
My hope comes from him.
Truly, he is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, and 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.
Surely the lowborn are but a breath,
the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
Together, they are only a breath.
Do not trust in extortion
or put vain hope in stolen goods;
Though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.
One thing God has spoken,
two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God, and with you, Lord, is unfailing love,”; and “You reward everyone according to what they have done.”
In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen.
