Beyond: Living Unshakable

Dia 7 de 12

Also essential to growing into an unshakable vessel, is allowing time to rest. There are times when we are called to rest and times when we are called to press on. Each day there is an opportunity to balance the two and trust Holy Spirit to lead us in both. When being busy rules our lives, and there is little to no time to allow God to restore our physical bodies, we grow to a point of exhaustion. Exhaustion carries with it the potential to compromise immunity and breed disease. Exhaustion may also hinder our ability to effectively live in the way we know God is calling us to. 

Likewise, when we continually feed our minds with news and social media feeds, rather than the Word and presence of God, our thoughts and feelings may lack the time needed to recharge and renew. Lack of rest may result in not responding to and loving others in a way reflective of Jesus. Rest is so important to the Lord, the author of Hebrews exhorts us to rest. Rest from our labors and obey the Lord.

As we learn to rest before the Lord, trusting such solitude and pause will yield His victory, we dwell within and from a place that can never be shaken! Today, sit with the Lord and allow Him to search your heart for a moment. Be encouraged to ask:

Lord, am I currently obeying the instruction to rest, physically?

Lord, am I currently resting from my motives and labors, and relying on Your wisdom and ways?

Father, how might I walk in rest, today, both physically and spiritually?

With God’s grace and Holy Spirit leading, resolve to grow beyond comfort zones and live unshakable by determining to be more intentional about resting – FULLY – in the Lord.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, I ask You teach me to rest. Reveal to me ways I need to learn to rest my physical body, rather than pushing it to exhaustion. Reveal to me ways I need to rest from my strategies and schemes, and learn to walk in obedience to Your will and ways. Lord, cause me to enter fully and wholly into the special rest spoken of in Hebrews four. Jesus, cause me to rest from accomplishing my own good deeds in the flesh, and yield Your good deeds, instead. Thank You, Jesus, amen.
