REST!

We were not meant to be beasts of burden....we were meant to rest! It is a huge part of trusting in the Lord! We can rest when we are secure in His finished work. In His death, burial and resurrection, He gave us EVERYTHING we need to live our lives through Him in us. We are wonderfully made and called according to His purposes. When we surrender and give our cares to Him is when we walk in true joy and happiness. He chose us, and appointed us, and has plans for us. Have faith in His finished work! FAITH IS A REST!
Matthew 11:28-29 Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you WILL FIND REST for your weary souls."

Hebrews 4:10-11 For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath CEASED FROM HIS OWN WORKS, as God did from His. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Jesus said to LABOR to enter into that rest! That must mean that our default mode is to be self righteous and self sufficient. Won't you believe that He wants you to cast your cares on Him today, and stop trying save yourself?
