Finding Rest

God wants you to live in peace and rest no matter what is happening around you. The bible says, “We who have believed, enter that rest.” When you believe God’s words over what your current circumstances may be, you enter into His perfect rest.

But if you’re controlled by the conditions around you, if you’re up when things go your way but down when things don’t, then life is going to be an emotional roller coaster for you. God’s plan is for you to be stable, consistent, and not moved by any of these things.

Anytime you face adversity or hit a tough time, one of the best things you can do is stay calm and immediately seek God. When you partner with the Creator of the universe, you come into a position of power. Declare out loud, “God, I trust You. I know You are still on the throne. This may be difficult, but I know You are fighting my battles.”

I know it may sound overly simple or even unrealistic, but this way of living is what faith is all about – believing that God is who He says He is. One of the many things He says is that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Today, choose to believe God so you can enter into His rest and walk in peace and joy no matter what is happening around you. Keep seeking Him and watch as He uses your own measure of faith to increase you in every area of your life.
