For we who have believed do enter that rest.

Whenever you’re waiting for something to change, perhaps for your health or finances to improve, once you’ve believed, you don’t have to figure everything out. When you don’t see anything changing, you’ll be tempted to worry, but stay at rest. When you’re at rest, you show God that you trust Him. Maybe you’re thinking it would have happened by now. You could be worried and complaining, but instead you’re thanking God, you’re declaring His promises, you’re being your best each day. When you’re at rest, you’re in faith. That’s what allows God to work.  

But if you’re upset over what’s not changing, worried about your finances and can’t sleep because your child is off course, that’s a sign that you’ve stopped believing. You need to enter into God’s rest. Come back to a place of peace. You can’t trust God and be worried at the same time. When you’re at rest, you know God is in control, you know all things are going to work for your good, and you know what He started He’s going to finish. 

Father, thank You for providing a place where I can rest in Your grace and strength to fight my battles. Thank You that I can stay in peace and know that You will make things happen that I never could. I believe that You are in control and that You’ll work it all out for good. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
