Blessed morning my Beloved family and friends in the Lord. THE REST OF GOD O our God, will You not exercise judgment upon them? For we have no might to stand against this great company that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You. 2 Chronicles 20:12 I love this verse! The people in it had come to the place of realizing three things for certain: 1. They had no might against their enemies. 2. They did not know what to do. 3. They needed to have their eyes focused on God. In verses 15 and 17 of that same passage, we see what the Lord said to them once they came to this realization and freely acknowledged it to Him: Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but Gods. You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord. What is our position? - It is one of abiding in Jesus and entering the rest of God. - It is one of waiting on the Lord continually with our eyes focused upon Him, doing what He directs us to do and otherwise having a reverential fear of moving in the flesh. Remember this; entering in Gods rest does not mean, that the rest of God is without opposition. Jesus said, Peace I leave with you; My (own) peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. John 14:27 His peace is a spiritual peace and His rest is one that operates in the midst of the storm, not in its absence. Jesus did not come to remove all opposition from our lives, but rather to give us a different approach to the storms of life. We are to take His yoke upon us and learn of Him, Matt 11:29. That means we are to learn His ways, to approach life in the same way He did. Jesus did not worry, and we do not have to worry either!!! Exceeding Grace for you today, in Jesus Name. Amen.
