WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO REST IN YHWH’S ARMS OF MERCY AND GRACE, IN ALL TIMES

WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO REST IN YHWH’S ARMS OF MERCY AND GRACE, IN ALL TIMES. NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND US, NOR WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT US. OUR ALLEGIANCE IS ALWAYS TO THE LORD; RESTING IN HIS ARMS GIVES US THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON.

Exodus 33:14 – And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. Matthew 11:29 – Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Rest is a state in which all of us (at one time or another) need to put forth the effort and find the time to surrender to. We must learn to rest in our LORD, YHWH’s arms of mercy and grace, so that we will continue to find the strength and courage to fight the battles that be and win the war for eternity. And all the while you cultivate this habit of great reward (spiritually, mentally, and physically) you will be able to help others to do it also. Because when we get in sync with one another (on the good or bad) we can work as a well-oiled machine, not missing a beat. And most of us just need to wait patiently and rest in the LORD. We need to put our spirits, mind, and body in the care of Christ, our Lord and Saviour, so that He can help us fill in the blanks of our life without worry, stress, or fear. And while we wait, leave the concern for others to our LORD, God, and our Lord, Jesus. (Psalms 37:7 – Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass).

Rest is freedom from work, toil, strain, worry, fear, or activity of any kind. It can be spiritual, mental, or physical; it is the cessation (to stop, end, bring to halt) of motion or action. It applies to anybody or being, for that matter; requiring them to rest from labor, rest from mental exertion or to rest from overexerting your body, wearing it down. Spiritual – we rest from the mochary of the Spirit’s truth which has been taken (spirituality) far beyond what God intended it to be to make it accommodating for selfish reason. Mental – we rest from the disturbing, agitating thoughts that binds us and leads us to sinful acts and speech.  And physical – we rest from misusing our bodies for fleshly works both inside and out, knowing it is the temple of God; needed to house His spirit, our guide. You are at rest when you cease all the unnecessary movement, which for a great majority of us, find it hard to do. We continue the movement of works of the flesh, unproductive for the Kingdom of God and have no true lasting benefits for yourself. It is a good analogy for you and me to compare our lives to the sea, which is never at rest; we are up, down, in, out, and sideways, on the outside as well as on the inside, never at rest. But God, in His infinite wisdom, wants us to be at rest in His Son our Saviour, Jesus Christ, Who is always at rest.(Psalms 127:2 – It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep).

As we rest in the calm times of our life, we should also, (because of the fact that God got it all under control), know, without a doubt that we can rest in the storms of our life. But you might figure that if you hand it over to anyone else, God included, you might lose control and whatever the case may be also. But understand this, you are not really in control. God gives us the opportunity to the righteous thing in our life by giving us the illusion that we are in control. This is given for us to step out and make sound decisions by ourselves; not decisions that we are afraid to let go of the outcome (good, bad, or indifference). It is very important to the art of God’s rest to know that it is not essentially physical at all; it includes the total being of you. Firmly put, you, me, people around the world need to stop and rest; even God rest. (Genesis 2:2-3 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made). It is something that we, as individuals, must do for ourselves (short of YHWH, God sitting, or laying you down) and Yashuah, Jesus will be nearer, life will become dearer, and revelations will become clearer.

So, when life begins to get the best of you, it is time to lay it all aside, go into your mind’s closet (guided by the Holy Spirit) and think about what you have been thinking about and doing, while going through. Reflect on the decisions that could have brought you to this point and the thoughts and decisions that are keeping you in a state of unrest. Now is the time to bundle all your messes, uncertainties, ill-reputes, burdens, and worries to YHWH, God, in Yashuah, Jesus’ name. Take all your burdens and give it to the Father, He will give you the rest you require, at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end. (Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Psalm 62:1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. Psalm 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety).

Certainly, as we rest in God and trust in His promises, we are relieved of anger, anxiousness, nervousness, tenseness, and other physical problems and mental problems. These problems and conditions, controlling our lives, prevent us from being patient and wait on the LORD, so that He will put us down, ever so gently and set us in a position for His use and give us His peace to rest in; knowing that we have obtained and can remain in the safety of His rest (LOVE). (Psalm 55:22 (Amplified) “CAST YOUR BURDEN ON THE LORD (releasing the weight of it) and He will sustain you. HE WILL NEVER ALLOW THE (CONSISTENTLY) RIGHTEOUS TO BE MOVED (made to slip, fall, or fail). 1 Peter 5:7 (Amplified) “CASTING THE WHOLE OF YOUR CARE (ALL YOUR ANXIETIES, all your worries, all your concerns, ONCE AND FOR ALL) on Him, for He cares for you, affectionately and cares about you watchfully.”).
