Rest

Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat.” — Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭31‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) The demands of this world would have us constantly coming and going. Sometimes we need to unwind and unplug. Let us remember to retreat to a quiet place and rest. For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” But you would not,” (Isaiah‬ ‭30‬:‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬) “Quiet your heart in his presence and wait patiently for Yahweh…” (See Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭7‬ ‭TPT‬‬) “Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. For You have rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. I shall walk before the LORD In the land of the living.” — Psalms‬ ‭116‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭(NASB1995‬‬)

His Reassuring Presence

I look behind me and you’re there,  then up ahead and you’re there, too—  your reassuring presence, coming and going..  — Psalm 139:5 (The Message) God goes before us and behind us. He places His hand of blessing on your head (Psalm 139:5, NLT). No matter what we go through, He is there with us, His reassuring Presence. If we dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there His hand shall lead us, and His right hand shall hold us (Psalm 139-9-10). Be encouraged and reassured, the LORD your God is with you and by His hand He will lead you through every situation and circumstance.
