Been learning what it means to..
- work for God/ His business
- be still
- rest in Him
- have joy and peace that transcends understanding
- enjoy God (& more than anything else)
Basically..it all links..when we rest in His love/ promises in every situation (i.e. trust Him fully instead of fighting battles on our own), we are still and close to Him (which gives us joy and peace!)..and in doing so, we are actually working for Him/ doing His work cause He works through our surrender for His kingdom. So in essence, as we rest, He works.
Hahaha sounds countercultural and counterintuitive right. But that's His style. Always going against societal norms cause He doesn't favour the status quo hahaha
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Matthew 11:28-30 MSG
💛 that God is never stressed and never in a rush..the calmest and coolest 💛 I can sleep through any storm..because He can calm any storm 😌
So there remains a [full and complete] Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has once entered His rest has also rested from [the weariness and pain of] his [human] labors, just as God rested from [those labors uniquely] His own.
Hebrews 4:9-10 AMP
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].
Psalms 91:1 AMP
Humans complicate, God simplifies..let's keep it simple 😌 dear God..may we know how much You love us so that we would really rest and not strive/ stress ourselves out anymore..💛
